Agony Opera This project is believed to be defunct. (October 2022) About What we are looking for: We like things edgy, experimental (be it in language or form), surreal, magic-real, speculative, avant-garde. In short anything out of the box. We don’t believe in any singular genre. We prefer genre-bending on your face outlaw literature that will fry up the neurons! We have a soft spot for literature which makes a staunch stand on politics. And by politics, we mean the politics regarding the rights of the 99%, not the other way round. Though, we must admit socialist realism doesn’t excite us that much. We would like to cover the complete spectrum. Writers from the third world countries, writers of color, women and queer writers, writers from under- represented groups are our priority.
