SCROLL DOWN
No iron spike can pierce the heart as deeply as a period in exactly the right place. Isaac Babel I must, before I die, find some way to say the essential thing that is in me, that I have never said yet. I want to stand at the rim of the world, and peer into the darkness beyond, and see a little more than others have seen of the strange shapes of mystery that inhabit that unknown night ... I want to bring back into the world of men some little bit of wisdom. There is a little wisdom in the world; Heraclitus, Spinoza, and a saying here and there. I want to add to it, even if only ever so little. Bertrand Russell "... The books we need are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of someone we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation-a book should serve as an axe for the frozen sea within us." Franz Kafka Another America: Creativity without borders This website is the manifest of a group of writers dedicated to the celebration of the written word--both classic and contemporary. Included among our friends are Donald Freed, Harold Pinter, Ronald Harwood, James Ragan, Shelley Berman, Norman Corwin, and A. J. Langguth. We have published our first printed Journal, Another America which features highlights from submissions from across the globe and a link to Susana Montal's performance of Verdi's Ave Maria, recorded exclusively for our inaugural effort. This website is open to any writer who wishes to submit his work (see Submissions, above). Rights to the submissions remain solely those of the submitting authors. Submissions are presented without charge and may be withdrawn at the request of the submitting author or by determination of our editorial board. We are charting a highly inclusive course for our emerging publication and promotional activities. We believe that a new technology known as "Print-on-Demand," will bring about greater changes than those that were precipitated by book clubs after World War I or the spread of paperbacks after World War II. To further facilitate the publication of contributing authors we are also establishing the Another American Literary Agency.
ANOTHER AMERICA, THE JOURNAL Is available online at Powell's, and locally in Los Angeles at USC Book Store University Park Campus 840 Childs Way L.A. Ca 90089 (213) 740-0066 Mystery and Imagination Bookstore 238 N. Brand Street, Glendale CA 91203 (818) 545-0206
