“Beautiful, compelling, irresistible: Slice will knock you right out. In the best way possible.”
-- Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
“Slice is among the golden few of modern literary publications, not only because of its fiction, poetry, interviews, and articles, but because it's simply the one everyone is talking about.”
-- Simon Van Booy, winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and author of The Secret Lives of People in Love
Issue 9
Into the Wild
It’s rare that anyone drifts into the wild. Most people hurtle toward the mysterious territories that lay beyond the borders of their respective norms. Some are driven by curiosity and a sense of adventure, while others are dragged kicking and screaming into the overgrowth. They set out to embrace the unknown or are held captive by it. And that dynamic, between us and the wild, whatever the wild might be, fits the art of writing perfectly. Issue 9 of Slice celebrates writers that have ventured into the wild—some literally and literarily. Each writer in this issue, the bright new stars and the established greats, took a chance, ventured into uncharted spaces (fictive or real), and recorded their journeys on the page.
