Customer Reviews

A wonderful collection in its own right

Conjunctions has for a long time been a source of truly new and groundbreaking writing in American Literature. The current issue not only continues this trend, but even exceeds the high water mark set by earlier editions of the journal, taking the time, as it does, to focus only on prose (saving the poetry, I understand, for the next issue). Collected in one place we have stories by some of our finest writers, set alongside works by newer, promising authors. From Coover's phantasmagoric and playful "Alice in the Time of the Jabberwock" to Paul West's haunting tale, this collection is thought-provoking and expansive.
