The Jonathan Bayliss Society invites proposals for a roundtable on American experimental fiction. Beginning at least as early as Moby-Dick, American experimental fiction flourishes in the work of Stein, Burroughs, Pynchon, Gass, and Bayliss, and continues today with such writers as Giannina Braschi, Karen Russell, Colson Whitehead, Lance Olsen, and Mark Danielewski. Such writers disrupt conventions of genre, style, syntax, diction, propriety, narrative form, page layout, and much more. We are interested in papers devoted to particular works or authors as well as more wide-ranging or theoretical approaches to the topic.
