for their continuing coverage of Jean Ferry’s The Conductor and Other Tales, forthcoming this month from Wakefield Press. Ferry’s only prose fiction collection, the book was one of this year’s PEN/Heim Translation Fund grantees. Since then, Pen has pushed it tirelessly, even putting an excerpt in a homemade chapbook for this year’s Brooklyn Book Festival in September. The PEN site also features a piece from the collection, “On the Frontiers of Plaster,†first published in The Coffin Factory (Issue #3), as well as a statement from the translator, yours truly.
Some stories from the collection are available online:
- “The Society Tiger” Weird Fiction Review
- “Bourgenew & Co.” Subtropics
- “The Garbagemen’s Strike” Anomalous
- “A Tear in His Eye” Anomalous
And others in print:
- “On the Frontiers of Plaster” The Coffin Factory #3
- “Letter to a Stranger” Birkensnake #6
