Fugue State Press

Fugue State Press

Fugue State Press (established 1992) is a small New York City literary publisher, specializing in the experimental novel.

It has published eighteen titles to date, including work by Andre Malraux, W. B. Keckler, Randie Lipkin, Prakash Kona, James Chapman, Noah Cicero, Eckhard Gerdes, Tim Miller, Joshua Cohen and I Rivers. Both American and international authors are represented. The books are distributed in the United States by Small Press Distribution (SPD).

Notable reviews in "Publishers Weekly", "Review of Contemporary Fiction", "American Book Review" and elsewhere have characterized the books as unusual examples of the experimental novel, successfully avoiding a focus on the technical, reflexive, or irony-imbued aspects of postmodern fiction, and instead offering highly emotional and committed expression within a range of innovative frameworks.

The name of the press is a reference both to the psychological term fugue state and to the musical form fugue, perhaps reflecting some of the dissociative and musical tendencies of the prose it publishes.
