Call for Submissions: Asymptote International Magazine of Literature
Deadline: 15 March 2011

Our website is http://asymptotejournal.com

The current issue of ASYMPTOTE features Mary Gaitskill, Thomas Bernhard, Aimé Césaire, Ludwik Sztyrmer, Du Fu, and Gozo Yoshimasu among others. The upcoming April issue will feature a despatch from Afghanistan, a memoir from Cuba, alongside an hitherto unpublished
fiction excerpt from Imre Kertész and an interview with Edith Grossman. If you do translations in any genre (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama) and like to be a part of this lineup, see our full
submission guidelines here:

DEADLINE: 15 Mar 2010

We also take critical essays and book reviews in the Criticism section, as well as visual poetry. Take note of the call for submissions for our Special Feature section, open to the writers among
us who are not translators:

For the upcoming issue, we invite submissions of English-language original fiction, poetry, and memoir/non-fiction (written in English) that features an "encounter between languages" as its crux or as a significant plot point. Those matters that are "lost in translation", to use a cliché: the misread sign, the foreign significant other, the Japanese obstetrician delivering a Swedish baby, etc.

We continue to invite, as always, essays (written in English, passionately, in less than 1500 words) about a relatively unknown author writing in a language other than English (in any genre) that deserves more attention from the English-speaking world.
