NEBO: A Literary Journal
Abstract
This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal, published in Spring 2001, features a compelling collection of short fiction that explores identity, relationships, surrealism, and the complexities of human experience. Originally archived as Volume 15, Issue 2, the print edition only denotes Spring 2001 on its cover. Due to necessary metadata adjustments in the digital archiving process, some volume and issue numbers in the online collection may not match those printed in the original journals.
This issue is heavily fiction-focused, with contributions from emerging and established writers. Notable pieces include "Nightfall" by Brad Molder, a deeply introspective story about memory and familial bonds, and "Ophelia’s Descendent" by Jack Malone, an eerie and psychological narrative with gothic undertones. "Playing Hooky" by Caleb Smith provides a coming-of-age reflection on childhood and the weight of growing up, while "Asleep Standing Up" by Paul Crenshaw delivers a raw and fragmented meditation on relationships and self-destruction.
In addition to fiction, this issue also showcases literary humor and satire, including the playfully self-aware piece "My Story" by Alfred P. Heinz, which subverts and parodies noir and detective fiction tropes.
