Ooh looks it – don’t leave us hanging, what is it?
Bugger! I forgot to say, didn’t I? It’s the latest issue of the wonderful McSWEENEY’S QUARTERLEY CONCERN: http://store.mcsweeneys.net/And the stories in it are every bit as good as the form they’re in.Nik
I just love McSweeney’s. I was runner up in a competition they ran and got free books from their publishing side. My favourite was George Saunder’s fairy tale The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip. My Munchie really enjoys it.
I’m a McSweeney’s fan, definitely. Such beautiful books, such imagination. I have this in staff reservations at work, and the previous issue. I had vowed to cut down though, as too often I buy them because they are pretty and don’t even read them. They are almost too gorgeous to open.
