Courtney's Recipe for Savory and Delicious Experimental Fiction

Ingredients:
1 stack of well-worn Penguin Classics
1 pair of scissors
1 copy of Radiohead's album, Kid A

Instructions:
1. Marinate your brain. Pop in Kid A, and make sure to play it in the intended order, you wouldn't want anything to curdle.
2. Now, open up your classics and carefully cut out all the story arcs. We won't be using these, but you can save them in a freezer bag. They should keep for another 20 years.
3. Bring to boil one gallon of ingenuity, throw in your trimmed classics.
4. When the pot comes to a boil, add equal parts of the Internet, every memory of the conversations you had with your mother about the uncomfortable link between God and intercourse, and spicy contemporary poetry. Put the lid on the pot, set the heat to low, and let simmer for about a semester.
5. Check periodically. Don't let the mixture liquify or it will become a bland soup that tastes just like your 8th grade Lit teacher, Mrs. Taylor (the one who said writing in a book is a sin).
6. Drain the liquid from the classics.
7. Melt a copyeditor in a stainless steel frying pan and fry the classics on each side until crispy and delicious.
8. Serve with a side of confidence.


*Many recipes like this one call for a heavy portion of David Foster Wallace. Of course, this is really a matter of taste. So if you would like your experiment to have a more played-out consistency, add a pinch of Infinite Jest (watch out, this could make your work significantly more heavy).
