HTMLGIANT is an online literature blog founded by American author Blake Butler. It presents itself as a "literature blog that isn't always about literature", and includes book reviews and interviews.[1] It is considered to be an important outlet for alternative literature, a loosely defined literary movement.
History[edit]
The website was founded in 2008 by Gene Morgan and Blake Butler.[2] In 2014, the site shut down due to allegations of sexual misconduct by members of the alt-lit community.[3] Two years after shutting down, the site was brought back online in 2016.[4]
Contributors[edit]
Notable contributors include Roxane Gay.[2]
