The sixth issue of Bartleby Snopes features 18 stories and artwork from the first half of 2011.
A surreal novel about a family, and Time and Art and Science, Religion, Philosophy and Current Events spanning from 1940-1990, and pivoting around the 60's. Its locations are New York City, Rome, Italy, and their near countrysides.Wish For Amnesia chronicles five equally-weighted major characters: three family members, one artist and one rogue, two of whom behave supernaturally at times, one of whom murders another. The father, about whom the cast revolves, first appears as a hippie-leader at Columbia University. The book opens two generations before the main events, spans the lives of two characters, and closes in an unearthly (although unnamable, non-referent, and unmistakably fictional) dimension.It is gripping, funny, and not autobiographical, traditional in sentence structure but metaphysical and told almost like a fable. Several forms comprise the text: omniscient narrative, letters, journal entries, fictitious NY Times articles, aphorisms, quotations, definitions, dreams, and dialogue.
