Having spent so much time and effort verifying the identities of the contributors to Children of Malley II, it gives me great pain to admit that we, just like poor old Max Harris, have been duped. Again.

The task of selecting and verifying the contributors to this issue was one that we did not really relish. The fact remains that even half a century after the fact, a lot of information relating to the Ern Malley affair remains under wraps or else so confused and contradictory as to send literary journal editors mad.

Those of you with long memories may just be able to recall that last December, at the time of the release of our EPIC issue, we also kick-started a little something called Post-Epic, which isn’t a genre – yet.
