Here it is, the second, expanded edition of the Fictive Bible of the Future Underground. The 14 stories contained in Endorsed by Jack Chapeau 2 range from the short-shorts that won Pelton an NEA Fellowship in 1994 and made him renowned in Belgium (where he appears on a postage stamp) to newer stories which have appeared in some of our finest modern magazines, including Rain Taxi and Submodern Fiction. "Pelton's stories take forms that take off" - Rain Taxi Review of Books "This masterful kaleidoscopic hall of mirrors is a vivid tableau of our multiple other side." - Robert Creeley "The effect generated by these pieces is nearly visceral - powerful and not easily forgotten ... one of the most potent experiences I've had reading literature." - Cris Mazza "Marvellous, pocket-sized, and funny as hell ... almost a genre unto itself." - Slate (UK) Ted Pelton is an Associate Professor of English at Medaille College in Buffalo, NY. He received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in fiction in 1994. In addition to this book, he is the author of a novella, Bhang, and a novel, Malcolm & Jack (and Other Famous American Criminals): "An audaciously entertaining and insightful creation myth about the genesis of the late 20th century's counterculture and political liberation movements in the so-called 'birth of the cool' in New York City jazz clubs at the end of World War II and dawn of the bebop era." - The Buffalo News
