Ever idiosyncratic, "Fence" evades the tedium of the decade with
this anthology, co-edited by all thirteen of Fence's editors, past
and present, including founding editor Rebecca Wolff and current
coeditor Charles Valle; fiction editors Jonathan Lethem, Ben
Marcus, and Lynne Tillman; poetry editors Caroline Crumpacker,
Anthony Hawley, Katy Lederer, Matthew Rohrer, Christopher
Stackhouse, and Max Winter; and nonfiction editors Frances Richard
and Jason Zuzga.In addition to presenting a stunningly eclectic
compendium of poetry, short fiction, criticism, and creative
nonfiction, much of it by younger writers who appeared in "Fence"
at the beginning of careers that went on to be dazzling, this
volume includes reflective essays by the editors on their
experiences with selected texts, with authors, with the magazine as
a collective, and with their own editorial identities, and serves
as an indispensable record of the inception and continuation of one
of the most influential literary journals of its time.
'A rollercoaster of glorious, criminal wordplay' - Ian Martin,
writer of VEEP, THE DEATH OF STALIN 'Shit Literary Siblings
celebrates the mundane figures, and the characters that, until now,
were destined to lurk in the wings - Donna Quixote, Todd Gatsby,
Hubert Humbert included' - The Face The imagined worlds of books
are populated by some of the most loved and recognisable characters
we know. But for every famous detective, Victorian heroine and
beloved children's character there often exists an overlooked,
often rubbish, and frequently downright sh*t sibling. These
unfortunate nobodies have never had the spotlight turned upon them.
Until now. Meet the likes of... Euston Bear - currently living off
Burger King wrapper sandwiches after ending up at the wrong station
Walter Wonka - a Kettering dentist with a phobia of dwarves Gandalf
the Greggs - beardy, pastry-covered piss wizard who spends long
periods of time in the high street bakery chain The Honourable
Jeremy Dracula - younger brother of the Count. Vegetarian. And many
more. With illustrations to help you spot these oddballs hanging
around on the streets, SH*T LITERARY SIBLINGS is a must have slice
of humour for the book lover in your life.

Lenna Faircloth thought she was content enough to be junior
librarian at one of the grandest libraries on the Continent, so
long as at the end of the day she can enjoy a glass (or two) of
wine and some decent shut-eye. Reticent and unconcerned with
trivial matters, Lenna is almost laughably nonplussed the day her
childhood friend, Gilbert, appears at her door, asking her to help
smuggle stolen goods across national borders. Librarian is the
first part of a young woman's long journey set in an alternate,
sparsely-populated world. When unfortunate circumstances leave a
bizarre, out-of-place artifact of immense power in the sole custody
of Lenna, she is forced to question her own wants, the source of
her withdrawal from others, and the curious nature of the
Continent's magic -- all the while being the target of numerous
political factions longing to possess the strange item bound to her
by a child's promise.
