Dadaoism (An Anthology)<\/h1>\n

Edited by Justin Isis and Quentin S. Crisp<\/p>\n

\n

Dadaoism<\/em>\u00a0is the first anthology from Ch\u00f4mu Press. Editors Justin Isis and Quentin S. Crisp have selected twenty-six novellas, short stories and poems setting out an aesthetic manifesto of rich and stimulating prose style, explosively unhindered imagination and anarchic experimentation.<\/p>\n

In their submissions guidelines, they challenged would-be contributors as follows: \u201cWe aspire to edit and compile an anthology that will be the literary and psychic equivalent of a tour around the edges of a dying galaxy in a spectacularly malfunctioning space vehicle.\u201d Please \u201ctake your protein pills and put your helmet on\u201d; this is not easy reading. Expect views of some fantastic literary nebulae, and encounters with word-form singularities.<\/p>\n

From Reggie Oliver\u2019s \u2018Portrait of a Chair\u2019, in which consciousness is explored from the point of view of furniture, to John Cairns\u2019 \u2018Instance\u2019, a nano-second by nano-second account of a high-speed telepathic conversation, to Julie Sokolow\u2019s \u2018The Lobster Kaleidoscope\u2019 in which na\u00efve wordplay acts as a foundation for existentialist philosophy in a story of inter-species love; from those such as Michael Cisco, with growing followings, to unexpected new voices such as Katherine Khorey,\u00a0Dadaoism\u00a0<\/em>presents a mystery tour of the literary imagination to demonstrate that outside of exhausted mainstream realism and uninspired genre tropes, contemporary English-language writing is thriving and creatively vital.<\/p>\n

What People Say About Ch\u00f4mu Press<\/h2>\n

\u201cSince it was established in 2010, Ch\u00f4mu Press has released\u2026 books that deploy a range of styles to disturb and delight fans of mind-expanding fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Jozefowicz<\/strong>,\u00a0Rue Morgue<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no easy category in which to place Ch\u00f4mu\u2019s releases; the closest thing I can come up with is \u2018disturbing fiction,\u2019 where \u2018disturbing\u2019 is more than an elite way of saying \u2018frightening.\u2019 It means breaking up, if only temporarily, the way one looks at the world, providing a new and baffling perspective on the reality we all inhabit but rarely observe.\u201d<\/p>\n
