Invalid Format: An Anthology of Triple Canopy Volume 4

Invalid Format is an archive of the publishing activities of Triple Canopy, the New York–based magazine. It explores how works that were originally presented online, on stage, or at symposia might be transposed to the codex in a way that recalls those former contexts while also fully inhabiting the page. "What is sacrificed in pixels and sound is made up for in a primitive portability you'll recognize, and in an intimacy only the printed stack knows: all that information is destined to bunk together forever," wrote The New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones of Invalid Format. This fourth volume includes works published in the fifth and sixth years of Triple Canopy's existence, when the magazine searched for a brick-and-mortar headquarters in Brooklyn; organized its inaugural marathon reading of Gertrude Stein's The Making of Americans; chronicled the perversity and heroics of 4chan and its anonymous spawn; published its first literary, or not not literary issue; and launched Invalid.
