Fiction International is a journal of arts and letters published at San Diego State University which emphasizes formal innovation and social activism. Each issue is devoted to a theme. Submissions of fiction, non-fiction, indeterminate prose and visual are welcome.
"Fluids" is the subject of Fiction International 48. Blood, oil, water, more blood, apocalypse, rumination. “Fluids” addresses violence, urgency and grace under extreme pressure in a world which because of global warming and other deleterious factors suddenly seems finite.
