I wrote this story with Fiction International in mind, for its animal theme issue. I had failed to note that the deadline -- I think it was December 15, 2006 -- had passed. This set came just after that, around New Years' 2007. I am reminded of this connection by Tantra Bensko's comment on the story's indeterminacy. Indeterminate is a word I associate with Harold Jaffe in regard to prose -- probably my favorite word for that.
Fiction International was named one of the “top literary magazines in America” among 2,000 eligible journals, according to Literary Magazine Review’s survey of over one hundred editors and writers.
Founded by Joe David Bellamy in 1973 at St. Lawrence University in New York, Fiction International was relocated to San Diego State University in 1983. It was edited by Harold Jaffe and Larry McCaffery until 1992, when Harold Jaffe assumed sole editorship.
Fiction International is the only literary journal in the United States emphasizing formal innovation and progressive politics. It features a wide variety of fiction, nonfiction, indeterminate prose, and visuals by leading writers and artists from around the world.
