said: "With this collection, Weller is making an argument that he’s more than Bradbury’s chronicler. Weller is arguing he’s Bradbury’s literary heir. By sheer story quality alone, Weller makes a good damn argument." In February 2022, Cara Dehnert, a former Columbia College Chicago professor, told NBC 5 Chicago that a relationship with a colleague spiraled and that she was the victim of rape and manipulation. The colleague in question was named in her widely circulated post on Medium, and was later identified by the Columbia Chronicle newspaper as Sam Weller when the college retained a law firm to investigate this and other allegations against him. Weller was issued a Notice of Dismissal on July 8, 2022, as a result of the investigation conducted by the law firm Mayer Brown LLP. In an email statement, President and CEO Kwang-Wu Kim announced, "Based on Mayer Brown's findings that Professor Weller engaged in conduct that violated the college's sexual harassment and other policies, Provost Marcella David concluded that the conduct warranted termination."
