Michael A. Chaney
Bewildering Stories biography
Michael A. Chaney is a scholar, writer, and artist whose passions include African American literature, comics and graphic novels, walking his dog, Vegas (a supermodel from the 1980s trapped inside a Husky-Shepherd-Whippet mix) and gardening — although I’m not any good at “pulling up” anything. It’s the growing out or the growing up of things that interests me and I don’t care a Canadian thistle if the world calls the thing that grows a weed or not. The world has a way of giving false names to things it doesn’t understand. I don’t understand Calculus, which is why I call it Shmalculus. I think Shmalculus is a weed. If Shmalculus grew in my flowerbed, I’d pull that sucker up. See I’m fickle too.
