Harriet Amber in the Conan Arcade

About this book

Short story written for Commercial Type’s Food Issue and available to read online at Commercial Type's website. "The type foundry Commercial Type wanted to produce a type specimen that went beyond the usual boundaries of the form — usually, it’s just a few weird, typographically-interesting sentences and paragraphs — to offer up some actually compelling content. So, they commissioned work from a range of writers, including me. They asked for a story that had something to do with food, and also, if possible, their home: New York City. My contribution was Harriet Amber in the Conan Arcade, which you can now read online, presented in two of Commercial Type’s great typefaces — which can be reshuffled with a button in the corner." — Robin Sloan
