More Schoneboomery
Surrealpolitik: More than a site dedicated to the book of the same name, it's a searchable repository of amazing quotes related to delusion, reality, and the symbolic order.
Magic Stories: A unique digital platform for reading and creating highly randomized (yet not arbitrary) stories that are (probably) never the same twice. Go on. Try it out.
Bratum Books: Publisher of the Uncommonalities series of short story collections bound by a common first line.
Bonkworld: Stop it. Bonk is a cartoon sound effect, not a dirty word. Lots of interactivity and japes, not entirely unliterary, occasionally informative. A rarely updated playground for me and a co-conspirator or two.
Wossafocken Point: What indeed?
Uncommonalities Volume IV: Eventually
This is the fourth volume of Bratum Books' Uncommonalities series of diverse short stories sharing a common first line. The first line, in this case, is: "Eventually I started to get tired of waiting" -- a line that was plucked from the middle of a short story by César Aira in his Artforum collection about a man whose life revolves around waiting for his subscription to the titular magazine to arrive. Our writers did a fine job of turning it into an astounding array of very different sorts of stories, some that will make you laugh, some that will fill you with wonder, and others that just might bring a tear to your eye if you're in the right mood. Contributors include: Amelie Baker, Akemi Brodsky, Steve Chambers, Leyla Ferrand, Mike Golding, Jess Lydia, Guy Mankowski, Stephen McGowan, Holly North, Hope O'Keeffe, John Parkes, Pauline Plummer, John Schoneboom, Kay Stewart, J.J. Warde, and Bethany Watson-Wilkes.
