Abecedarium, the novel I co-wrote with Davis Schneiderman. It’s ten interconnected stories that all have the same protagonist: Fex. After that, though, you’re on your own; Davis and I work this book as an attempt to see just how far we could strain the English language. Apparently, English can be strained pretty dang far. Here’s more, from the back cover:

Two writers decide to write a book together. They sit in the same room, nose-wrinklingly close, writing, trading pages, expanding each other’s stories. But it doesn’t take long before they start cutting up, mashing up and purposefully fucking up each other’s prose. They dodge and parry, gouge at eyeballs, bite. In moments of tenderness, they pet each other in the wounded night. Their narrative grows increasingly chaotic, linked only by harum-scarum leitmotifs and a mounting scatological lexicon.

Thanks to Chiasmus Press for publishing this book, and other weird and wonderful wordbomb-novels!

Interfictions 2. Courtesy of the Interstitial Arts Foundation, Interfictions 2 is the latest of their anthologies, and, like the previous Interfictions anthology, seeks to redefine, repurpose, and recalibrate what it is that we mean when we say that much-maligned phrase “genre fiction.”  My story in the anthology is “The Assimilated Cuban’s Guide to Quantum Santeria.” Bonus! The forward is by a personal favorite of mine, Henry Jenkins!
