Fiction

&Now is an anthology of short fiction that attempts to explore the boundaries of the written word and challenge the form of the 19th century novel.

Traces of many books masque themselves inside Gretchen E. Henderson's "Galerie de Difformite." With the head of a novel and the body of a poem, this extraordinary work interrogates the nuanced concepts of ability/disability, voyeurism/exhibition, deformity/normality--all with a wry sense of self-representational humor. Lushly designed with crowdsourced images, text deconstructions, and enough narrative tomfoolery to make Tristram Shandy blush, the "Galerie" is both funhouse and curiosity cabinet, art catalogue and "choose your own adventure." This bestiary of the novel-as-poem-as-essay-as-art grows outside of the bounds of the Book and, in the process, redefines deformity for the digital millennium.

The Continental Caper is a mystery novel told in large type interspersed with images of cut hair and images related to hair styling.

In our logo we have called ourselves "a journal of Chicago writing and art." The Chicago school of literature is very much like the people, the politicians, the style, the neighborhoods of the city that inspires an artistic vice that is unpretentious, aware of the realities and inequalities of materialism yet sentimental in a streetwise-front-stoop-backyard sort of way. So often Chicago is thought of as unrefined or unsophisticated ... a city of big-shouldered thugs, scandal, dirty alleys ad factory workers. But what Chicago lacks in polish, it makes up for in honesty. Chicago writers pull no punches. Chicago writers find a beauty in big-shouldered thugs, scandal, dirty alleys ad factory workers. *
