Description

Jeff Vandermeer. Why Should I Cut Your Throat? Excursions Into the Worlds of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror. Austin: Monkeybrain Books, 2004, 335 pp., $15.95 paper. Jeff Vandermeer has been amongst the most visible writers of the fantastic in recent years. In part, this has been due in part to the publication of a number of well-received works of fiction: City of Saints and Madmen (2002) foremost among them; Veniss Underground (2003) and Secret Life (2004) following close behind. Yet Vandermeer has also made a name for himself in other ways: as the founder and force behind The Ministry of Whimsy Press; as the center of the "Romantic Underground" (a loose group of writers including Stepan Chapman, Michael Cisco, and Jeffrey Thomas that favors the baroque and surreal); as the co-editor of anthologies including the first three volumes of the Leviathan series (1997-2002) and The Thackery T. Lambshead Pocket Guide to Eccentric & Discredited Diseases (2003); as a prolific blogger and web-presence; and as an equally-prolific critic and reviewer. In dealing with Vandermeer, one is reminded of Ford Madox Ford, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein, figures who helped create and drive Modernism through not only their own work, but their essays, their editing, their salons and friendships--figures whose significance to literary history rests in the totality of their accomplishments.
