What is the best way to tell a story? In this anthology, the
first-ever collection of essays by innovative, cutting-edge writers
on the theme of narration, forty of the continent's top
experimental writers describe their engagement with language,
storytelling and the world. The anthology includes renowned writers
like Kathy Acker, Dennis Cooper, Nicole Brossard, Daphne Marlatt,
Lydia Davis and Kevin Killian, writers who have spent years
pondering the meaning of storytelling and how storytelling
functions in our culture, as well as presenting a new generation of
brilliant thinkers and writers, like Christian Bok, Corey Frost,
Derek McCormack and Lisa Robertson. Contemporizing the friendly
anecdotal style of Montaigne and written by daring writers of
different ages, of different origins, from many different regions
of the continent, from Mexico to Montreal, these essays run the
gamut of mirth, prose poetry, tall tales and playful explorations
of reader/writer dynamics. They discuss aesthetics founded on new
explorations in the field of narrative, the mystery that is the
body, questions of how representation may be torqued to deal with
gender and sexuality, the experience of marginalized people, the
negotiation between different orders of time, the 'performance' of
outlaw subject matter. Brave, energetic and fresh, Biting the Error
tells a whole new story about narrative. Biting the Error is edited
by Mary Burger, Robert Gluck, Camille Roy and Gail Scott, the
co-founders of the Narrativity Website Magazine, based at the
Poetry Center, San Francisco State University.
