NEW! See Kurt Vonnegut's envoi!

Welcome to the first issue of the Backwards City Review. We're a journal publishing authors and artists who often don't see their worlds in the same way people around them do. We hope we can find ways to share that work with other like(or unlike)-minded individuals, with the worlds and cities they inhabit.

Our first issue took a lot of work. Now that it's in the bag, we look forward to making the second. Of course, this requires that folks submit their work to us.

Read our Editor's Note, ripped from the pages of Issue #1.

See all the top quality folks who gave us work for the first issue, and read selected work from contributors Peter S. Conrad, Jim Rugg, Adam Berlin, Cory Doctorow, Arielle Greenberg, Erica Bernheim, and John Latta.

Or just look at the table of contents and see how we arranged it.

Best of all, order a back copy.

And above all, please bear with us. This web business is new to us, and we're ironing out all the bugs (messy business, but we enjoy the smell). We'll be putting more and more content online as it becomes available. When we do, our blog will surely let you know.
