Catalogue note
VICE Volume 4 Number 12, The Fiction Issue, a free UK edition corresponding to VICE’s first annual fiction special. The issue assembles original fiction, cartoons and literary fragments from a strikingly broad contributor group including Harmony Korine, Chuck Palahniuk, Neil LaBute, David Mamet, Andrea Dworkin and Fred Armisen, with Roe Ethridge photographing the cover inside Strand Books in New York. Rather than treating fiction as a side department, the magazine hands the entire issue to literary work, creating a useful document of how mid-2000s youth publishing absorbed contemporary fiction, film, comedy and art into the VICE editorial voice.
