*EXTENSIVE IMMANENCE*
the stated goal of EXTENSIVE IMMANENCE is to publish very long works of
experimental literature. each text is longer than 1,200 pages. these are
sometimes written by computer manipulation, sometimes by human-hands on a
computer keyboard, sometimes by email collaboration, other instances by
combinations of any of the previous means.
as a stated length, more than 1,200 pages describes the EXTENSIVE part of
the press name.
a quality of IMMANENCE is more complicated and evanescent. it is a term with
as many definitions as people who use it. a general description, not a
definition, would go something like: it covers the universe, a big claim for
a work of literature, but this wont be the first time literature makes a
grand claim.
a title like EXTENSIVE IMMANENCE could be seen as a tautology. instead
following Gertrude Stein, who says something like: repetition is insistence,
not repetition. the works included in the press-identity must be very long.
all texts are free to read, free to download, and free to print out. they
