Louis Evans’s bar mitzvah reading was Parshat Korach. G-d kills a lot of people in that story, with plagues and fire, but he read the bit where the Lord sends miraculous life. Louis’s work has appeared in Nature: Futures, Analog SF&F, Interzone and many more. He’s online at evanslouis.com and on twitter @louisevanswrite. He’s praying for peace and justice soon and forever, in Ukraine and all around our world.
