Publisher’s Description: Fiction International stands apart from other literary journals in at least two ways: it showcases innovative forms of fiction and non-fiction, and it addresses themes that serve progressive political ideals. Over the years Fiction International has published the best, most uncompromising innovative fiction and non-fiction written in the US and abroad: by J.M. Coetzee, Claribel Alegria, Robert Coover, William Burroughs, Alberto Moravia, Malcolm X, Allen Ginsberg, Marguerite Duras, Edmund White, Kathy Acker, Alain Robbe-Grillet and hundreds of writers worldwide: many famous, some never before published.

In the last dozen years, Fiction International has attempted to do what most other journals have not done: feature themes that are venturesome, offbeat and also politically progressive: Madness; Pain; Terrorism[s]; Sabotage; Ecstasy; War/Resistance; Fetish; Political Correctness; Third World Women's Writing; Japanese Fiction; Central American Writing; The Sacred and Shamanic; Writing and Politics; Pornography and Censorship, Outcast / Abject, Animals. . .

Founded in New York in 1973 by Joe David Bellamy, Fiction International came to San Diego State University in 1983, and has been edited since then by Harold Jaffe.
