DEATH AND THE LIGHTHOUSES
(1 January 2001)
Largely eschatological in emphasis, but occasionally luminary, the founding issue of Labyrinths conflates
incommensurables. Three tales studying and/or meditating on the end of individual and collective lives attract
a coda incongruously concerned with the management of the most romantic and most phallic of navigational
aids.

appears quarterly, on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October each year. We publish all kinds of imaginative
writing classifiable as ‘postmodernist’, as well as literary criticism of postmodernist writing. (For a discussion of the poetics of
‘postmodernism’, please consult a standard text such as Brian McHale, (London, Routledge, 1987).) We
impose no limitations as to the nature or length of such material. Contributions for prospective inclusion in should
be sent by post, fax or email to the editor. We can handle virtually any standard electronic file format. Please allow one
calendar month for a response, as your piece is likely to be sent to an external reader.
We also review imaginative and critical work in the field. Material for review should be sent to the editor. We consider
unsolicited reviews (between 1,000 and 3,000 words) of appropriate material, but would prefer potential reviewers to contact
us with their ideas in advance.
Please note that unsolicited postal contributions which are submitted without a SAE will be read and evaluated in the
usual way, and we will respond to them. We cannot, however, guarantee the return of unsolicited postal contributions which
are not so accompanied.
