Fifth Planet Press is proud to add The Open Face Sandwich to its platter of literary offerings.

The Open Face Sandwich is a journal of uncommon prose. This volume presents the latest from Deb Olin Unferth. It provides vital hilarity from the most cynical second-grader we've ever known. It offers cutting new work from 80-year-old former member of The Living Theater, and of the Paul Bowles expat circle, Mel Clay. Within it, award-winning poet Ariana Reines dips prose in tears and cummy vomit. It reproduces novel excerpts stolen from reclusive expatriate Hortense Caruthers. And it serves you several very lovely literary debuts (Uppsala, Amsterdam, New York, Atlanta.) All this notwithstanding delicious full-color fold-outs of animals brutally murdered by automobiles and photographed.

Some words on the launch event from Jerry Cullum.

The Open Face Sandwich will be available at the AWP Bookfair in New York thanks to Small Press Distribution, January 30 - February 2, 2008.

The book launch on January 17, 2008 was a spectacular perfomance art and literary event w/ Mel Clay inspirations, spicy sandwich buffet, and a stifling reading in Decatur later, the same weekend. Thanks to everyone who participated.
