tNY Press

Editor, Chuck Young, wrote a children's book & frequently featured artist, Aniela Sobieski, illustrated it & if you have a tNY.Press sized surplus in your wallet you could totally buy it! Kirkus Reviews called it "breathtakingly original" even! Which was really friggin nice of them!

Thank you hope you are all well & to all a goodnight.

Are you offended? Join the party, then read a short fiction called: The Offended http://experimentallit.com/the-offended/

One day I murdered some journalists because they offended me. Another day I murdered a Muslim couple because they offended me. Did I say a couple? Let’s put that number under perpetual revision. I murdered Jews and Christians too. They offended me. When I remembered there were cultures and religions...

Hey friends, tNY.Press is for sale.

It's been an amazing 5 years. We're so grateful and humbled by all of your support, and also by the neverending genius of our writers. But it's time the editors move on to new things as we have grown tNY as big and strong as we are able.

That said, we'd hate to s***f out all the potential it still has. Between the print magazine, books, and our new partnership with the LA Review of Books (via ExperimentalLit.com), tNY.Press is an amazing factory for new writing talent and literary experiments.

We are looking to sell and/or pass the baton to a person or publisher who want to get their hands on a real dope venue for experimental lit. We are taking bids until June 15 and then making a decision on June 20th. Please share this post, tell your friends, spread the words, so we can put tNY into good hands.

We attached a basic deck with more details.

Thanks,

Josh, Chuck, & co.

The Friendship http://experimentallit.com/the-friendship/

This woman said to me, Give me your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son and ate him. And the next day, I said to her, Give your son, that we may eat him. But she has already eaten her son.

Bone picker http://experimentallit.com/bone-picker/

A dishwasher at 14, I had enough dough to afford a burn or two before work. Toked up & drowned the lout kitchen fans by the faucet waterfall, static in the green light which also carried me beyond Hiroko’s echoed voice—the head-waitress overbearing. She had a warm violet smile on her plump cheek, he...

“ironbound – a blog is a love letter to the place where I grew up, and the account of my heartbreak at moving beyond it. It was written long before I left the Ironbound, and in hindsight I wonder if, even back then, I was trying to justify to myself the decision I had already made.  This is part …

Hey everyone, idea:

What if our website had a dream section? Where people could submit their very short stories about dreams they just had. Requirement being it had to have been within the last 24 hours.

Dreams are so literary and wrought with perceived meaning but also often cliché expressions of insecurity or desire. But insofar as the author actually experienced them, they are also sort of non-fiction, which is interesting. Thoughts?

I Saw Mother Kissing Santa Claus http://experimentallit.com/saw-mother-kissing-santa-claus/

On Christmas 1952, Mother kissed Santa, a year after she’d left my sister and me. I was passing this bar, after buying a Sinatra album for Helen, when I saw them. Her lips were pursed into a thin, serene smirk. Santa’s arms straddled her slender figure, grappling wildly, a child in search of a toy.…
