During the writing of Manituana we wrote and put on line some ‘approach tales’ or ‘prolegomenas’.
These were not simple ‘anticipations’ but ‘lateral’ tales that germinated on the table in the course of our meetings. Incomplete and inconclusive, they were rebel, riotous, mutinous chapters. They do not form part of the book, and they don’t say anything about the styles in which it is written. Narrative material that escaped from our hands. We have written other micro-stories ad hoc for this site. The work begun with Manituana continues, for another two novels we will advance along the tracks of the 18th century and plough the Atlantic, heading eastwards now, now towards the west. We will continue to produce stories, micro-stories, fragments, prequels, alternative epilogues. Over the months and years to come we will joyfully receive, select and publish the stories and fragments that you feel like sending to us, as long as they live and breathe in the world we are building together. |
