Fiction. 2000 AND WHAT? Is a collection of short stories about the turn of the millennium. These stories are about what it means to be alive during this particular era and vary in content as much as in style: exuberance, excess, nihilism. What unifies the writers collected here is their ability to avoid a predictable response to an inevitable event.

2000andWhat? Stories about the Turn of the Millennium

<p>Fiction. "Lewis Warsh's stories are devastatingly good. Fragments of plain unlikely lives are enacted in expertly simple, sinuous prose. Characters evolve in a bewitching and scary realm somewhere between event and insight, at the unnerving center of what we take to be reality. These people are all too convincing - we wouldn't want to be them, but we probably are" -Harry Mathews.</p>

Money Under the Table

Warsh, Lewis

A collection of short stories, a modular novel, a (non-acid-free) descent into purgatory? It's all this, I suppose, and much more. Susan Smith Nash seems to tell the world: "You are ordinary, and I am small and together we are immense." Yes. her book is an immense reservoir of perceptions, and her reader becomes a virtual person who enters Doomsday Belly, a former life left behind, to stay there, addicted. - Erel Adam

<p>Fiction. A CHRONICLE OF THE MADNESS OF SMALL WORLDS is Mac Wellman's first collection of short stories. Each story in A CHRONICLE OF THE MADNESS OF SMALL WORLDS is set on a different asteroid. But this is not standard science fiction fare. Consider this first sentence: "If you are to gain a correct impression of how we operate, and how the MerryThought works, you might logically begin with the observation that all of us on Wu have the same name: Mary Carnivorous Rabbit." Another story is set on a hairball. Best known as a playwright, Mr. Wellman has always written poetry and fiction, including two novels. In 2003, he was the recipient of a lifetime achievement Obie award.</p>
