Interfictions: An Anthology of Interstitial Writing Paperback – Import, 17 May 2007

It's okay.Like most anthologies, there are some stories you like and some you don't. But I'm gonna fall kinda hard on the "Interstitial" category here, simply because (if this anthology is any example) it's so muddled, random, half-lif-fic-half-nonsense at times I found myself boredly flipping to the next story, only to find it repeated. A couple of the authors have really nice prose on their side - if only they had something else as well, ie interesting characters, a scene, a hook or plot or some reason for me to care. The first couple of stories (naturally) were weird and interesting, but after that it really fell into myopic, meandering, prosaic author-masturbation. Please note, I am NOT a literary fiction fan, so that's probably why I haven't found my money well spent here.Honestly, the most interesting part of any of the stories were the author notes at the end, which describe how the hell they came up with this stuff. And I have a sneaking suspicion their explanations were the only thing that got them published.3/5 For that random kinky cat story

I really like this anthology and the unique voice of each of the authors. It's refreshing to read English-language materials that freely flow between various genre lines. Overall, the vision is creative and a good read.
