🌟Shortlisted for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction🌟 Hiron Ennes's maximalist, visceral story of revolution explores resistance, repression, cycles of violence, and the way art and culture are the materials of social change—but can also be key to the consolidation of power.

A copy of The Works of Vermin by Hiron Ennes on a black shelf next to a small glass vase full of greenery

“They say all good stories begin with a dead man. That’s the phrase, isn’t it? Every good show begins with a death and ends with a marriage. It’s how the great dramatist Aufhocker puts it—or at least the people who confidently misquote him, and there really isn’t a worthy distinction between the two.”

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

Photograph of a car with a squirrel inside of it, perched on the steering wheel. The car is the color of champaign at a beige convention, and the squirrel is the color of squirrels. The squirrel is holding a package of crackers in it's mouth. They are the kind like you get at a restaurant, where you get two crackers wrapped in plastic.

The driver's side window is slightly cracked. This is how the squirrel got in, and how it got out. It threw the crackers out first, and then climbed out after them. Everything in this operation suggested that this was not the squirrel's first rodeo.

A closeup of the squirrel sitting on the steering wheel. The squirrel deserves a name, so we'll call her Anjeloma, and she's what you might call a winner. She is still squirrel colored. The crackers are white, and labeled "Zest." As if Anjeloma needed more zest. Squirrel, please.

You can't see much of the car, but you can see smudges of grunge at the edges of the windshield, where the wipers have cast aside the debris of previous rains and pollen-falls.

Since all the VSPs seem to have recently discovered the circa-2012 point that "supply-side restrictions on fossil fuels are pointless," here's a piece I wrote in Vox that presents the other side of that argument:

It’s time to think seriously about cutting off the supply of fossil fuels

It's always projection from the right. American cities were to a significant extent demolished to make roads and parking for high volume car traffic coming in. But paying a few bucks to cover a fraction of the costs they impose when they drive into a city becomes "a declaration of war".

The pricing means that taking a Citi Bike will become, for a lot of people, the transportation choice of last resort, such as when there's a subway meltdown or it's 20 minutes before the next bus arrives. That's not at all what the city should want. It should be a seamless part of people's choices.
