UNFICTIONS

Jason Price Everett • Literary Fiction / Experimental Fiction / Metafiction / Short Prose

Book Description

\"It can be said of sacred time that it is always the same…\"

UNFICTIONS is a kaleidoscopic anti-narrative that dissolves the boundary between fiction and reality, prose and poetry, self and other. A collection of short prose pieces that reads like a single sustained act of literary rebellion, the book assembles the detritus of a life lived between continents — radio transmissions, boarding passes, love letters, terrorist bombings, museum tickets, and philosophical aphorisms — into something approaching sacred text.

Drawing on the cut-up traditions of Burroughs and the formal provocations of the European avant-garde, Jason Price Everett channels the spirit of Mircea Eliade's eternal present into a work of uncompromising vision. Featuring pieces previously published in Si Senor, Hubris, Good Foot, The Prague Literary Review, The Quarterly Review, Underground Voices, BLATT, and many others, UNFICTIONS challenges every assumption about what a novel can be.
