F(r)iction #27: Illusion / Delusion

"F(r)iction is an art and literature anthology carefully curated to evaluate an important cultural topic from vastly different perspectives. From essays to comics to the wildest reaches of our imaginations, each issue inspires us to think differently.

This triannual anthology is an imprint of Brink, an international storytelling nonprofit and independent publisher. Brink runs storytelling programs in underserved communities, using F(r)iction as a teaching tool to empower people to turn the page toward a better future.

F(r)iction #27 pierces the veil between the here and there, the mind and the material, the imagined and the existent... Illusion/Delusion confronts the fabricated barriers we surmount to find happiness, the worlds we concoct in our minds’ eyes to balance harsh reality, and the stories we tell ourselves to hide from—or actively evade—deeper truths.
