Founded in January of 2011, Full Stop focuses on debuts, works in translation, and books published by small presses. We believe that books exist in a supercollider, that their meaning and significance arise from high-energy collisions with the people and cultures that read, write, and share them. In an often insular and oscillating field, we seek to highlight the unknown, the precarious, and the as-yet unrealized.

    Podcast #16 – Keely Shinners, Ansgar Allen, & Mike Corrao

    Episode 16 begins with an interview between Full Stop contributor Keely Shinners and interviews editor Hannah Lamb-Vines.







    Shinners is a writer and editor based in Cape Town, South Africa. Their debut novel, How to Build a Home for the End of the World, is available from Perennial Press.







    Next, we present a sound experiment between writers and artists Ansgar Allen and Mike Corrao.







    Allen is the author of books including A Short History of Cynicism, as well as the novellas Wretch and The Sick List, which our review called “a timely examination of higher learning’s malaise.”







    Mike Corrao is the author, most recently, of Rituals Performed in the Absence of Ganymede, which we described as extremely precise yet “determinedly enigmatic.”

    Podcast #14 – Mr. Difficult

    Full Stop founding editors Eric Jett and Alex Shephard have started a new podcast series, which dives deep into the world of . . . Alastair Crowley . . . Just kidding, it’s Jonathan Franzen! They love him, they hate him, they love him. It’s a complicated thing they have with him. And they’re joined by writer Erin Somers to discuss all of Jonathan Franzen’s books, leading up to this newest book, Crossroads.







    So we present the podcast’s pilot episode, on Franzen’s first book, The Twenty-Seventh City. You can get more episodes of the podcast here.

    Podcast #13 – Greg Gerke & Gabriel Blackwell

    On this new episode of the Full Stop podcast, we’re featuring an interview between fiction writer and critic Greg Gerke, and writer and editor Gabriel Blackwell. Gerke’s essay “An Adultery” ran on Full Stop last year, and he’s the author of See What I See, a book of essays, and Especially the Bad Things, a collection of short stories, both published by Splice. An expanded version of See What I See is out now. Blackwell is the author most recently of CORRECTION, which contains 101 short story-essays. Or something approaching that. It’s pretty experimental.

In a review on Full Stop, Sarah Sophia Yanni calls the book “a poignant reflection on alienation in adulthood and the continuous evolution of the brown, queer body."

    Podcast #11: Post-Post-Pandemic Travel Writing

    This month on the podcast, we’re featuring a few Full Stop editors, as well as Full Stop Fellow Nabil Kashyap, discussing the future of travel writing. As the worst wave of the pandemic continues to batter America, the idea of a reopened world seems very far off. But this gives us some time to reconsider travel writing, its pitfalls, and what might come after the pandemic . . . if there’s really going to be an “after.”
