Reviews / Votes
For the first volume of Interfictions: "A wildly varied cacophony of a book, by turns beautiful, funny, frightening, frustrating, and baffling, but never boring." --New Haven Review "Odd, Deep, Delightful" --Atlanta Journal-Constitution "This idea of playing with genre conventions is interstitiality's charm and what makes it a movement for the hypertext age. We want words to do more now and for our time not to have been spent with just one idea." --Adrienne Martini, Baltimore City PaperMore details
