The Literary Terrorism of Harold Jaffe is the twenty-ninth issue of The Journal of Experimental Fiction, a Festschrift built around one of American docufiction's most uncompromising practitioners. Eckhard Gerdes edited it, which makes JEF one of the few houses to issue a critical book about Jaffe rather than only reprint him.

The title's phrase is Jaffe's own register. His docufiction took news reports and court records and shifted them by a line or a frame until the source exposed its own ideology, an attempt to reclaim literature from cooption by the systems whose language it was made from. This Festschrift treats the method seriously and treats Jaffe as an acute observer of the painful conditions we live in.

That the press already held a critical book about Jaffe is part of why his later titles found a home here. JEF went on to publish his collection Goosestep and, after his death, his last book, The Infected Desert. The Festschrift is where that long relationship started.
