Customer Reviews

Love it so far

This is an excellent collection of short stories. Anyone who enjoys this form of literature should enjoy this collection.

Another A+ from McSweeney's

From cover to cover (and especially with the special wraparound flap), this issue is a sparkling example of why McSweeney's is a gem in the literary world.
