Courtesy of a Mewe post by Larry Correia [https://mewe.com/profile/56c8ccd65b424a0c79c1d4b3] - looks like, in addition to being one of the few SF writers who can write "literary" in the same general neighborhood as Gene Wolfe and unlike many literary wannabes, tell a story, Dan Simmons has some balls. Of course, vile 770 took him to task for it [http://archive.is/tNELI]. What did he write? Yeah, he said rude things about a child being used as a human shield to hector and shame adults. Recall -…
