Thinking Again

Mark Wallace ruminates on the tyranny of realism in contemporary American lit and poses related observations, citing the non mainstream Fiction International a few other journals and a few presses. I could add a bunch more to the list. Mark Wallace and I have pieces in the latest "Freaks" issue. Let me add that my own journal is a kissing cousin of Fiction International. We specialize in unconventional narratives.

Perhaps we need a list of journals and presses.

Thinking Again

good news of a personal nature (again) : WOOWHOOO!

sorry -- no good news to report of the world outside ... murder and mayhem continue; it's so comforting to realize over and over again how insipid and insidious the species is, isn't it!?!

no.

so anyway, my news, for anyone who happens to drop by, is Fiction International's (Harold Jaffe's) acceptance of my most recent piece for the Freaks issue, which will emerge next December. i'm terribly pleased that my piece was so quickly accepted by a first rate journal with a progressive social conscience. the piece is called Ramon's Dream, in four movements. it's very dark, full of shadows without light. not my usual tongue-in-cheek, satirical stuff. this comes from the nether-sphere of yours truly. came spilling out of me like a wild river freed from a dam. i love it when my authentic process does its thing!
