In this issue:
Chaos, motherhood and one of America’s best writers (despite the sales rankings); Steve Erickson has been producing top notch writing for the last 20 years and isn’t getting the audience he deserves. We hope to help change that.
This Is Not Your Mother’s Apocalypse by Jason Hafer
The Book Review will be a more comprehensive examination of a specific work  or literary philosophy. The books and authors dealt with here do not need to be current. If the contributor would like to review the newest Russell Banks book, that would be fine. It would also be fine for a contributor to examine the literary relationships between William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy. In a sense, the review as Wolfgang knows it is more critical than consumer oriented. We are not looking for the “thumbs up, thumbs down” breed of review. Rather, we want intelligent and controlled writing about specific books or literary themes.
At this time, we are publishing one review quarterly. The length should be between 2,500 and 7,000 words. All contributions are subject to editing, but the Journal will always work with the contributor to produce a finished piece.
