Summer 2010 Issue of JMWW Is Live!

It’s my first issue there as Senior Flash Fiction Editor. Check it out HERE. From my introduction:

I really enjoyed putting together this issue of very short fiction. To have stories like these floating into my inbox or the submissions “pile” proved to be the highlights of my reading these past few weeks. For part of the time I had been reading these stories I was also in the midst of reading William Gaddis’s The Recognitions, the thorough command of narrative technique of which was as daunting as it was inspiring, and I’m happy to say that the stories I’ve selected here measure up to this mammoth text, packing imaginative rhetoric and style in a necessarily much smaller package.

New Story in Conjunctions!

I’m happy to announce that my story “Some Varieties of Being and Other Non Sequiturs” will appear in the next issue of Conjunctions, one of my favorite literary journals, actually, my favorite literary journal. It feels great to have my fiction published alongside work by Matt Bell, Tim Horvath, Diane Williams, Thomas Bernhard, Elizabeth Hand, Brian Evenson, Charles Bernstein, Etgar Keret, John Ashbery, and Lyn Hejinian. And I’m excited to read the work of the writers unfamiliar to me. Check out the previews page! Thanks, Bradford Morrow!
