Electric Literature No. 5

Our fifth anthology takes you on a journey from the suburbs to the underworld. In Kevin Brockmeier's tale, "A Fable for the Living," notes are passed between the living and the dead through a fissure in the earth. J. Robert Lennon's "Hibachi" unleashes the unexpected cathartic power of a hibachi grill on a paralyzed marriage. In Carson Mell's "The West," a father and son join the insatiable Mackenzie Horselover on a quest for the perfect hamburger. Ben Greenman rekindles old rivalries in "Come Out," a story of friendships, love triangles, and repurposed bathtubs. And in Lynne Tillman's "The Original Impulse," a woman cycles through memory, encountering an old lover with every pass.
