We are half-way to our goal! That means more bonus material, which in this instance is a fresh new column by John Clute:

Maybe this is claimjumping. But I do read the title as representing a moment where creative impulse and recognition of the world unite, and as a warning that a man in the terrifying prime of early middle age has written the tales we are about to encounter in order to calibrate us for the long haul. Most of the longer tales in Three Moments of an Explosion seem therefore to have been accomplished through a pretty intense scrutiny and exposure of the possibilities of story in the twenty-first century: a taking of aim upon what may be functionally sayable in a world where the long campfire of Story has turned to cinder and aubade, the long farewell that shapes Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day (2006).

(Reminder: There will be a separate ebook of all the fund drive content when it's all over.)

With $9,000 raised, we now have just over two weeks to find the other $9,000. So do feel free to tell a friend about us!
