New series:
Nothing Exists Alone
Yes, it is getting hotter. And while you might be able to escape the intensifying tropical storms, flooding or droughts by moving elsewhere, refuge from extreme heat is no longer easy to find.
- NEW YORK TIMES, July 2021
When we read about climate change, it’s often done by the light of a second mind, a short distance from our emotional centers where our fears can’t hatch blood. Safe within ourselves, we forgive a great distance between what is true and what is faced and wonder how life can both be and sit on a brink?
That’s why 11:11 is introducing a new series called Nothing Exists Alone.
Expanding on our catalog of risk-taking work, this fiction series will challenge writers to explore themes of climate change, freshly. We are searching for stories that anchor spaciousness within the emotional intensity of this crisis, helping readers to confront and process its magnitude. Though the subject matter is urgent, the plots may not be big nor loud. Instead, we envision they’ll hold the door for shaky relationships, common-store bargains, ambient loss, and all must lift the numbness we hold in place of fear.
There are many books that will help you understand climate change, but ours will help you feel it.

Book Announcement:
Children of the New Flesh: The Early Work and Pervasive Influence of David Cronenberg Ed. by Chris Kelso and David Leo Rice
David Cronenberg's influence throbs beneath and within much of today's most exciting film, art, and literature: from his role in probing the sensitive nexus of flesh, disease, and technology, to his prescient take on how our all-consuming, hyper-sexualized hunger for mass media would warp reality into a demented circus, Cronenberg stands as one of the key figures mediating theory and pulp, desire and repulsion, and, ultimately, the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
But how did this come to be? How did an underground filmmaker in Toronto in the 60s come to exude such influence? To reflect on these and many other questions, authors Chris Kelso and David Leo Rice invited some of today's most exciting up-and-coming writers, artists, and thinkers to contribute to a new anthology of essays, interviews, fiction, and art celebrating Cronenberg's significance and exploring what it means for their own work as we go further into this strange new century, in which the New Flesh is bound to take on even more perverse and provocative forms.
