  Nemonymous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nemonymous is an experimental literary "megazanthus" (a portmanteau word combining magazine and anthology) that publishes short fiction.
Nemonymous Two, whose stories are loosely connected by an overarching theme of effacement, came out in May 2002 and is the first to disclose the names of those published in the previous issue.
Nemonymous Part Four: A Megazanthus for Parthenogenetic Fiction and Late-Labelling was published in May 2004 and comes in completely white covers, with no lettering on the outside save for the words "nemonymous part four" on the spine.

 The SF Site Featured Review: nemonymous #2
Nemonymous allows the reader to enjoy the story (or not) based on the story's own merits, with the author's name only revealed several months later in the subsequent issue.
The editor of Nemonymous, whose name does not appear in the magazine, apparently feels that a story must be dark in order to qualify as literature, for the stories selected for this issue are almost all depressing and disturbing without an optimistic tale among them.
So many of the stories in Nemonymous 2 are psychological in nature, it is interesting to take a look at the only story that specifically features of psychiatrist: "Buffet Freud." The depiction of a psychiatric patient at her therapist's birthday party, the author never really answers the patient's question about the reason behind the invitation.

 Nemonymous 3 - an infinity plus review
Elsewhere, the nemonymous proprietor has drawn parallels with other forms of art -- architecture, principally -- where relative anonymity is the norm and generally we only trouble to find the identity of a building's creator after the event, after the interaction.
Nemonymity breaks that limitation, and should be applauded.
Nemonymous stories are mostly marked by the high quality of their prose and, whilst this is not specifically a genre publication, weirdness underlies many of these pieces.

Nemonymous is a concept so radical it defies logic, and yet so natural an extension of Des's artistically motivated writing career, anyone who knew him should have seen it coming.
The nemonymous concept was born from a lifetime (I am now 55) of dwelling on similar issues as part of my interest in genre and literary fiction (writing it and reading it).
Yet Nemonymous was finally born as a result of discussions and debates on two internet newsgroups (Storyville and Weirdmonger), where reactions to my ideas made me determined to put them into practice.

Nemonymous is approximately the same dimensions as a typical trade paperback (except in length) but the editor chose to use the short edge as the spine, which makes a nice, neat package that is easy to hold onto and read.
It may seem a small point, but just the fact that the creator of Nemonymous thought enough of what he was doing to make a product that rested comfortably in one hand, or your lap, means that the same care should be applied to the interior.
Nemonymous is great in concept and wonderful in execution.

Nemonymous: It’s been a hell of a ride, and the world has been made a better place because of it.
Nemonymous prints stories by authors who shall remain nameless, at least until the following issue, when all names are revealed.
I think it makes you read the stories with closer attention; it’s a levelling device, and if, for example, you knew a friend of yours was writing in that particular issue, you wouldn’t be able to skip ahead to that story and ignore the rest.

You must realise by now that the Nemonymous project is one of the most significant literary undertakings of the new Millennium: viewpoints have been shifted and lives (mine certainly) have been enriched.
I must admit it came as a shock to me. Nemonymous has never received anything but praise and is such an important literary experiment that it took quite a while to sink in.
Nemonymous is the one place I have found that has kept alive the same spirit of the fantastic, the daring, the unpredictable and the honest in a world of crass commercialised crap.

 Whatnot Magazine: Name-Dropping for Fun and Profit: An Interview with D.F. Lewis (Nicholas Liu, Fall 2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The central conceit of the publication (which Lewis refers to as a 'megazanthus') is that in the interests of reader objectivity, the stories within it appear devoid of author by-lines, the writers' identities only being revealed with the next installment of the journal.
Despite this, should someone wish to order a copy of Nemonymous, the only way for him or her to get one is in true small press fashion: by ordering it personally from you, albeit through email.
It strikes me as something that would be a good fit with the concept of Nemonymity, and the fact that each such issue would replace rather than supplement the usual issue would reduce the financial burden quite significantly.

The journal has trod a fine line between its commitment to an idealistic vision of free-floating fiction which stands or falls on the strength of the writing alone, and the danger of curiosity about authorial identity superseding an interest in the stories for their own sakes.
Nemonymity may also be signalled either by explicit reference to, or use of, the term 'surreal', or by the presence of 'strange' characters and events to whom it is intended the term be applied.
There are a few stories which, despite coming dolled up in nemonymity's Sunday best, remember that the function of fiction is not necessarily to demonstrate the writer's willingness to experiment, that he or she is on first name terms with Roget, or understands terms such as intertextuality or metafictionality.

 THOMAS LIGOTTI ONLINE - View topic - Nemonymous   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Ridding a story of an author's name, sex, etc., for me, would add as much to the story of guessing at least the sex of the author and trying to find information within the fictional story to see if I could decide what part of the world the author is from.
I think Nemonymous has done well over the years, bearing in mind what was going against it from day one.
I feel it is a shame that this type of submission process may now die with Nemonymous – as will the sole opportunity in the market for an author to have a story printed initially as anonymous.

Nemonymous is a new magazine of short fiction edited by Des Lewis.
This holds also for the style of presentation, which is to say the layout is clear and uncluttered, unadorned by any illustrations except for pertinent quotations from the likes of Samuel Beckett, Poe, Wells and Woolf which all have something to say on the subject of anonymity and nothingness.
Sobriety, the story implies, is the bastard cousin of logic; both serve to neutralise and clip the wings of drunken dreams.

Nemonymous intends to keep writers informed on Veils&Piques about submissions in general -- whether, *for example*, there will be a spate of rejections at any particular time, to save them keep looking back at their ‘anonymous’ email address.

Forgot to mention that Nemonymous is not any particular genre, but its Part Two has been lucky enough so far to pick up eight Bram Stoker recommendations for itself as a whole plus a further six for individual stories within it.
Mighty Fine Days is the definitive Nemonymous story for me (so far), conforming both to the developing 'house style' of Nemonymous yet opening up new and surreal territory at the same time.

But if someone picks up NEMONYMOUS ONE (the world's first anonymous anthology), for example, in a secondhand bookshop, they will never know who wrote each story nor will there be a list to choose from...unless they find NEMONYMOUS TWO in another secondhand bookshop.
Now, the true TNT-level explosiveness is NEMONYMOUS which doesn't distract the reader with possible solutions to the byline mystery unless the reader waits several months to find out who wrote what.
But my frame of mind when I read the stories during the Nemonymous submission period is to optimise this possibility as far as possible, and it's definitely *more* possible than if the stories were by-lined.

 Nemonymous, Whispers Of Wickedness, Premonitions and The First Line reviewed on the official website of Laura Hird
‘Nemonymous’ is one of the best UK magazines, and like ‘Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet’ straddles the genre and literary worlds effortlessly, showing that such categories are confining and ultimately redundant in the face of good writing.
‘Nemonymous’ is without doubt the standout magazine of this bunch, and rivals ‘Lady Churchill’ for the title of recommended magazine of the season.
Their strengths lie in their hybrid literary-speculative natures, where they aren’t afraid to present weird and wonderful fictions, written and published to standards that leave most pure literary or genre magazines trailing.
