Harold Jaffe's acts of literary terrorism work to wrestle control of the future of literature away from the dominant culture.
This book celebrates that effort.

Not only is this volume of the Journal of Experimental Fiction series a tribute to great French-American novelist and Holocaust survivor Raymond Federman by more than 30 friends and colleagues, including Jerome Klinkowitz, Charles Bernstein, Doug Rice, Larry McCaffery, Mark Amerika, Ronald Sukenick, Lance Olsen, and other well-known writers and critics, but also it features several wonderful unpublished works of fiction by Raymond Federman himself, including fiction from his early years as a student at Columbia University to a large excerpt from his current novel-in-progress.

The authors in this volume of The Journal of Experimental Fiction have demonstrated time and again that they have a way with words. Literature is ultimately driven by language, and these folks understand how to use language better than most. They prod it, ply it, tweak it, fry it, sling it, smash it, caress it, destroy it, uphold it, defend it, laugh at it, play with it, split it, spit on it, cajole it, stir it, freeze it, melt it, stomp on it, and hold it up for all to see as if it were the most precious thing in the entire world. Maybe it is. (from the foreword by Eckhard Gerdes)

The premier international source for literature at the forefront, The Journal of Experimental Fiction has done it again! It has collected writing by some of the bravest, most innovative and thought-provoking, most emotive authors working today.

Other selections include fiction by Steven Kedrowski, Amina Memory Cain, Daniel Borzutzky, Antoinette Nora Claypoole, Lee Groban, Persis Gerdes, Todd Smith , and kari edwards. Famous works of experimental fiction are parodied by Thomas McCain Dawn Hamilton and Eckhard Gerdes. Also featured are a critical essay by Tim Miller and a review of John Barth's new novel, Coming Soon!!! This anthology is a welcome and vital addition to the great literature of our age!

In a literary world where we see the constant rush of lemmings diving gleefully off cliffs into the seas of mediocrity and convention, it is refreshing to find that there are creative writers out there who are willing to keep the lighthouse of the avant-garde lit. In this collection one finds fiction fulfilling its core purposes: to warn, to enlighten, to illuminate. As editor Eckhard Gerdes says in his foreword, if you're looking for conventions, buy yourself a fez! What you'll find here is thought-provoking and emotive work, charged with the spirit of delight and wonder as each new possibility is uncovered. This is, without a doubt, some of the best writing of our times. The works in this collection can rub elbows with the great and hold their own. If there is an afterlife, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Richard Brautigan, Italo Calvino, Laurence Sterne, Donald Barthelme, William S. Burroughs, Kathy Acker, Samuel Beckett, Kenneth Patchen, and Eugene Ionesco are all looking at this work and are nodding and smiling.
And a few words from our fearless editor:

JEF # 2 (2001 reprint of 1994 edition)
With Ring in a River, the new novel by Eckhard Gerdes, one of America's most innovative novelists, Gerdes further pries the novel away from its subservience to 19th century literary conventions and enthusiastically flings it into the realities of modern life.

The Darkness Starts Up Where You Stand
by Arthur Winfield Knight
published by JEF/Depth Charge
Out of Print: JEF # 0, Projections, by Eckhard Gerdes, our first publication, dating back to 1986, is currently out of print, but collector's copies are available from Amazon-associated rare book dealers. This book was published in a limited edition of 200 copies and currently (as the first edition of Eckhard Gerdes's first book) is selling upwards of $80.00 a copy on the internet, though you may be able to find copies for less. We are hoping to reprint Projections in a collection of the early psychedelic novellas of Eckhard Gerdes sometime in 2008 or 2009. We'll keep you posted.
