Unremembered Histories is a collection of literary fiction by author Ed Newman, winner of the 1991 Arrowhead Fiction Competition. While the individual stories stand alone as independent entities, the common thread in this collection is the paranormal or supranormal aspect in each. The title of the book is derived from the centerpiece story, An Unremembered History of the World and its introduction to the notion of parallel histories as well as the brokenness within our own history.

The story Duel of the Poets is the author's attempt to acknowledge Jorge Luis Borges as one of his literary influences. Duel of the Poets has been translated into Croatian where it was selected to be the centerpiece of a poetry site in the 1990's.
