O William Gillespie dança um forró com Spineless Books que vai acabar com o imperalismo das empresas editoriais em Nova Iorque.
Continuously working against the grain of American letters — ignoring New York city, writing collaboratively, employing invisible constraints, writing across media, publishing under multiple heteronyms, publishing himself, publishing his weird friends, trying everything possible, always creating new forms, William Gillespie doggedly aspires to be an unsung hero of literature. William has published 14 5/6 books under 5 different names. He runs the publishing house Spineless Books and the online bookstore Spybeam Books.
"...a guy who is living (what remains) of an avant-garde life. Keep it up—we need guys like you and Harry Smith to keep our lives sane (or what passes for sanity in the Age of Surveillance Capitalism)."
—Larry McCaffery"I've had very, very few superstars. William is a superstar."
—David Foster Wallace"Gillespie works in a contemporary tradition whose foremost practitioners are members of the Oulipo, the Paris-based group of writers and mathematicians founded in 1960 by Raymond Queneau and François Le Lionnais. Gillespie's poetry can seem as feverishly wrought as some works of Ian Monk and at other times as stylishly refined as some works of Harry Mathews."
—Doug Nufer, American Book Review"...a writer who has clearly learned his chops well."
—Eckhard Gerdes, Context"...his vastly superior linguistic skills, mathematical mind, intelligence and curiosity combine with his energy...to produce writing of a unique richness and playfulness."
—Lucia Cordell Getsi"[Gillespie's] language here is far from restrained—it is disciplined, wily, animated, resourceful, in turn nonsensical and musical, but supremely vital, dazzling to confront ('read' is not quite the verb), sculpted lines smeary with fingerprints, stunned by the audacity of their own construction."
—Joseph Dewey, Review of Contemporary Fiction"His imagination is sharp, raucous, random, and contrarian."
—Lance Olsen, American Book Review"William Gillespie...is one of the wittiest and most original writers in contemporary American literature."
—Robert Coover"I think the world is finally ready for William Gillespie."
—Philip Graham
