The Examiner - On Boycotting (or not) Orson Scott Card's SHADOW COMPLEX.
Indeed, much of the heavy lifting was done by Peter David, a straight
writer-geek who is about as gay positive as you can get. And while the
EMPIRE universe Card created depicts, according to Wikipedia, a "...A

with the deli owner, and when we mentioned how far we travelled for his food, he
commented that we'd had a kosher deli in our area for a while. We told him that
while it hadn't stacked up against his food (which is true), we'd eaten there
occasionally before it mysteriously closed, which prompted him to share that the
owner of that place had apparently closed-up one day and mysteriously
disappeared, leaving his employees and creditors (not to mention his customers)
in a lurch. A pretty wild story, and pretty funny that we had to travel 50 miles
to catch up on this local gossip.
