Harvard Square Editions launches inaugural living-fiction anthology
An international group of award-winning and new authors have contributed to an anthology of short fiction called Above Ground, and are donating the net proceeds to Doctors without Borders and Jubilee USA.
The stories and novel excerpts in Above Ground are what the publisher, Harvard Square Editions, calls “living fiction,” work by contemporary authors seeking to stimulate a literary dialogue. Living fiction invites readers to converse with the authors, whose email addresses appear in the book.
“We’re delighted to see the excitement that advance copies of Above Ground have already generated, and hope others will replicate this interactive approach to literary diffusion,” says Geoff Fox, an Above Ground author who lives in Spain.
The 19 authors, mostly Harvard and Yale alumni, are scattered all over the globe and are holding book launches with readings by the local authors in the USA and Europe.
Above Ground themes range from romance with a ghost, to a modern Grapes-of-Wrath family quest, to lawlessness on a remote island ‘paradise’, to surfing the ‘Outernet’ of the collective unconscious, to wisdom that carries an immigrant cleaning woman through hardship — the variety and unexpected forms of the authors’ intelligence and wit is enthralling.
Above Ground is available in bookstores and at Amazon.com. Author book talks and signings have been scheduled at numerous Harvard and Yale Clubs and bookstores in the United States and Europe.
Proceeds from the sale of Above Ground go to Doctors Without Borders, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971 and to Jubilee USA Network. Jubilee works for responsible global lending practices and engages in public education, research, policy analysis, and advocacy.
