A festschrift, as defined by Merriam-Webster online, is "a volume
of writings by different authors presented as a tribute or memorial
especially to a scholar." The writer feted in the Verbivoracious
flagship festschrift was a scholar who also happened to be one of
the most innovative writers of the 20th century (and certainly for
the first decade of the 21st century). This collection contains
essays, homages, and stories inspired by the work of Christine
Brooke-Rose, arranged in the publication order of her books,
commencing with the poem Gold (reprinted for the first time here),
and concluding with Life, End of. The writers featured are an
eclectic mix1 of critics, storytellers, ardent readers, academics,
pasticheurs, homageurs, and people coerced to read the works of
Christine Brooke-Rose for the sole purpose of contributing to this
festschrift. Those not yet acquainted with her work should find
sufficient entry points to her varying, often complex, sometimes
cryptic, always playful, methods. Unswerving converts to her
constraints will find many rapturous moments in the numerous
flawlessly executed fictions included.

This edition of A Postmodern Belch has been discredited. Pending
article 9.6 of the Creative Commons Licence, portions of this work
contain improperly brushed syllables taken from a 1978 edition of A
Postmodern Belch and inelegantly buffered clauses taken from a 1997
edition of A Postmodern Belch. This edition of A Postmodern Belch
is adapted from the 2007 edition of A Postmodern Belch and
reinstates all the irritating and unlikeable qualities of the 2010
edition of A Postmodern Belch, including the missing correspondence
between Luca Brasi and Lionel Blair that never made it into the
1808 edition.
