false 6184155 1 Postfantasy fiction that defies definition is at the center of a groundbreaking issue edited by Bradford Morrow and Brian Evenson in the Spring 2009 edition of <I>Conjunctions</I>. Imagine an everyday world in which meat is grown in vats by men called collies" and butchered by BattleBots while adults play Frisbee with robots. Imagine a world in which secret societies meet in private to have "soft evenings," during which they travel "psychotic highways." Imagine what might follow the opening lines of "Brain Jelly" by Stephen Wright: "Apostrophe came from a country where all the cheese was blue. The cows there ate berries the whole day long. You should see their tongues." Along with other fictions gathered in this issue, these stories begin with the premise that the unfamiliar or liminal really constitutes solid, though undeniably strange, ground on which to walk. Contributors include such veterans as Jonathan Lethem, Elizabeth Hand, Theodore Enslin, George Saunders, Peter Straub, James Morrow, China Mieville, Robert Coover, Kelly Link, Jeff VanderMeer, M. John Harrison and Ben Marcus, as well as emerging writers such as Jon Enfield, Karen Russell, Micaela Morrissette and Stephen Marche." 6364290 1 6 2009 Conjunctions: 52, Betwixt the Between total:1|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 1 3 13 1 0 0 false false Sun Jun 14 19:38:57 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 19:41:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 23:42:04 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 23:42:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 18 14:11:13 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 14:11:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 10:02:09 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 10:02:09 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Aug 04 18:55:42 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 08:54:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 20 21:13:23 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 21:13:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 16:06:05 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 16:06:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 12 10:36:30 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 10:36:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 07 19:19:24 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 19:19:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 03 04:42:08 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 04:42:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 19 10:55:34 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 10:27:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 16 18:56:51 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 18:56:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 17 10:59:35 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 05:42:09 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6184155
