In the late nineteen eighties and early nineties a unique and
innovative Mod fanzine was published in San Francisco. The Peacock: A
Journal of Mod Writings, was a literary journal for Mods. Its pages were
filled short stories and other creative writing and art exploring the
Modernist way of life. Called "soul inspiring" and "brilliant" by some and
"pretentious propaganda" by others, The Peacock never failed to produce a
reaction in its readers. Now, this
controversial publication returns as a creative writing Web site dedicated
to Mod culture. The site premiers with:
Art by Stevan Wright and Ingred Chamberlin
A previously unpublished short story by Marisa Harris
Part one of a new three-part novella by house writer Eric Chamberlin
A new chapter of the unfolding novel "The Rites of Style."
In addition the site contains extensive archives from the original
fanzine, including all previous chapters of the "Rites of Style."
Submissions are welcome. New material will be added as it is written or
received.
