The Anthology of Babel Is On Its Way

October 30, 2017

"Why should there only be literary scholarship about authors who actually lived, and texts which exist? Where are the articles on Enoch Campion, Linus Withold, Zelda Calhoun, Redondo Panza, Darshan Singh, or Heidi B. Morton? That none of these are real authors should be no impediment to interpreting their invented writings. In the first collection of its kind, The Anthology of Babel publishes academic articles by scholars on authors, books, and movements that are completely invented. Blurring the lines between scholarship and creative writing, The Anthology of Babel inaugurates a completely new literary genre perfectly attuned to the era we live in, a project evocative of Jorge-Louis Borges, Umberto Eco, and Italo Calvino."

Look for this amazing anthology (and my essay/story in it) forthcoming Summer 2018 from Punctum Books. Linus Withold (mentioned above) is my boy.

I've pointed the direction of this travel blog toward life in Connecticut: its history and its food, its culture and its lifestyle. Join me as I explore the myth of home, something too often lost in our nomadic world.
