Overview
One of the country's best and largest-circulation literary journals, committed to finding new voices, publishing work of gifted but underappreciated writers, and pushing the literary form forward at all times, presents Issue 20.Synopsis
Every fourth page is a full-color figurative painting, each one by an excellent artist. The other pages have fiction on them, with only one color but lots of words including punched, pants, and Puerto — that's actually just the first page. After that, there are stories exploring animal-plant romances, psycho librarians, and passive-agressive ventriloquism. No fewer than two dictators appear as protagonists. And after all that, loosely glued to the inside back cover, there¹s a fifty-page booklet containing a harrowing excerpt from Chris Adrian¹s The Children¹s Hospital..
This is a handsome, handsome issue, brimming with fulfilling things.
