The Fiction Issue: An Aster(ix) Anthology, Co-edited by Prof. Ayşe Papatya Bucak & Dr. Ivelisse Rodriguez

Congratulations to Prof. Ayşe Papatya Bucak and Dr. Ivelisse Rodriguez, co-editors of The Fiction Issue: An Aster(ix) Anthology.

The Guest Co-Editors, on the collection:

Just take a look at the stories in this collection. What you hold in your hands is the world; these stories allow us to traverse countries and continents, dive into familial love or love woes, and yearn for and arrive at freedom.

~ Dr. Ivelisse Rodriguez, Guest Co-Editor of The Fiction Issue

I think sometimes writers conflate short stories with small stories. Stories have to be focused and quick, critics seem to suggest. But what I love about short stories is just how big they can be within a small space. How they can implicate everybody while being about somebody. The stories in this issue of Aster(ix) are big stories told in small spaces, by writers from all over the world.

~ Prof. Ayşe Papatya Bucak, Guest Co-Editor of The Fiction Issue
