Originally self-released in 1976 through A.I.R. Gallery, New York, the five short unpublished manuscripts collected in 5 Prose Fictions offer an abbreviated introduction to curator Lucy R. Lippard’s largely under-examined fictional work.

The republication of these pieces follows the recent rerelease of I See/ You Mean and provides further context for the release of Brimstone, an anthology compiling over 50 of Lippard’s experimental and narrative fiction works from the early 1950s through the 1980s.
