Conjunctions #26: Sticks and Stones

Works by some two dozen poets, playwrights, and novelists, including David Mamet, Paul Auster, Michael Palmer, Rikki Ducornet, Arthur Sze, and Norman Manea are featured alongside Robert Coover and a previously unpublished story by the great Angela Carter.A special fiction portfolio guest-edited by Ben Marcus, presents eleven young writers of harrowing originality -- Rick Moody, Lois-Ann Yamanaka, Dawn Raffel, among others -- and proves that "sticks and stones" can still break bones.
