"While stranded in Dublin, Ohio on September 13, 2001 due to the grounding of all domestic flights in the U.S., the editors visited the local library. Thumbing through the card catalog, they found a reference to 'Other Possibilities,' by Indira Sylvia (I.S.) Belissop assigned the Dewey Decimal call number 125.20. The book, as well as the curious number, has since been impossible to find in major libraries around the world. The book itself did not appear on the shelf."Shifter's thirteenth issue, titled Indria Sylvia Belissop, begins with this anecdote from the editors describing the odd call number, the missing volume, and its subsequent replacement-"three torn out pages with an anonymously penned biography of Belissop were found in its place." This issue includes the full biography, and aims to restore the absence of this Mozambique-born philosopher. Edited by Avi Alpert and Sreshta Rit Premnath. Other contributors include: Pedro Barateiro, Natalie Bell, Rori B. S. Bellow, Joseph Bradshaw, Kalle Brolin, Catherine Czacki, Susana Gaudêncio, Juan Manuel Ipiña, Susan Jahoda, Runo Lagomarsino, Pieter Spealman, Anna Vitale.
