Synopsis

If issues were anniversaries, this one would have to be printed on silver plates. You could melt it in some sort of forge and then pound it on an anvil until you had a set of earrings. Instead, it's a hardcover book with stories by a few of our old favorites—Steven Millhauser, Joyce Carol Oates, Padgett Powell—and more than half a dozen others, investigating everything from ape men to unlucky island-hoppers to what happens when Canadians go AWOL in Bosnia. Pound this one on an anvil and it'll pound you right back.

Featuring three different cover types, and illustrations of various horses by Amy Jean Porter

About this title

Review:

Contains wonderful stuff from writers you've heard of and equally wonderful stuff from writers you haven't heard of. It is also a thing of beauty... The whole thing is driven by a slightly crazed exuberance which makes other literary magazines look like phone directories (Mark Haddon The Big Issue)

Groundbreaking... the only place to be seen for would-be cult US novelists... a forum for innovation as well as established talent (Observer)
