A-Way with it!

About the Book

A-way with it! Simply put, that's what this is all about.

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.
