Today we're featuring a fiction piece from our Spring 2025 Issue (OUT NOW), "Contributions to the Terror," written by Ada(ms) or Ardor!



"They were told โthis is a goddess,โ and they hated her, but for the most part, they just said โokay.โ And it isnโt as though this goddess appeared to them. No one had visions of her." If you haven't yet, or if you wish to again, read this masterful work from Ada(ms) or Ardor

Years after she was probably raped by one of her brothers, many years after she attempted to blind her sister in the night with a hot poker, my grandmother may have arranged for the murder of my grandfather. I wrote a novel about it. Here's an excerpt - minorliteratures.com/2024/09/17/conโฆ

"Tabs" by Ada(ms) or Ardor is about now, like right now. He pins it in the way he pins lost causes and end of days elsewhere. The thread in all of it is work that somehow seems to know exactly what it's doing at any given moment, with all the tricks of fiction, words, flow, & shape.


My novel Daydreamers, about Chinese literary exiles in California, comes out next month. "Brilliantly inflected with undercurrents both noir and comic." โSusan Daitch Review copies are available. DM me for one or (if you prefer) contact my publisher Fiction Collective 2.


First look at my road-trip novel Daydreamers, which publishes next month. Stylish treatment for this excerpt by The Evergreen Review, paired with photography by Bryan Schutmaat. Thanks to old friend John G. H. Oakes ๐, who published my first novel The Hell Screens, for making this happen.
