I shall be guest editing an issue on short fiction for Cafe Dissensus. The theme is Night. cafedissensus/forthcoming-issuecall-for-contributions/ Guest Editor: Sumana Roy, Author, Siliguri, India. Concept Note: Of all political categories we inhabit, it is perhaps the night which affects us most unequally. We all have our different relationships with the night, whether they be as lovers or wayfarers, as its agent or as its advocate. I am thinking of the call centre employee and the pathological insomniac, both wooing and weaning themselves from the night. Night shift, the owl worker, burning the midnight lamp – this arbitrary mention of three varieties of rhetoric that surround night life, for instance, is a good indicator of how we fetishise, exoticise, marginalise the night and its devotees. Short fiction submissions dealing with human and nonhuman relationships with the night should not exceed 2500 words. Please remember to provide a brief bio at the end of your piece. The issue is planned for online publication on 1 February, 2015. Submissions will be accepted till 30 November, 2014. Please email your submissions to sumana@sumanaroy.
