(Note: The editors of Birkensnake welcome submissions from variegated ethnic backgrounds and texts in English by writers whose first language is not English.)
We seek short fiction for a Birkensnake 6 devoted to endlessness. That is, we seek fiction that doesn’t end — for instance, cyclical and/or recursive stories, narratives formed after fractals or the ouroboros, whatever neverending forms you can come up with; as well as fiction that explores that which has no end — for instance, stories involving reincarnation, hauntings, the horoscope, a subway system without end, outer space, the experience of neverending displacement, Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story, Dino Buzzati’s Seven Messengers, the US War in Iraq, the North Atlantic Garbage Patch … basically anything dealing with the infinite, the immortal, the recurring, the asymptotic, the nomadic, the circuitous, and the moebian.
Birkensnake is an annual journal/anthology type of publication that is being edited and printed in several different versions and by different teams of editors for 2013. Send fiction of 8 to 8888 words by March 15, 2013 through our online submissions manager.
