This issue of McSweeney’s had me swinging between extreme love for the writing and unfiltered hatred for some of the stories. I think it’s simply a matter of what it is I like in an author’s style and what I dislike, there is certainly no bad writing. It is by far the best issue of the three I’ve read this year, and I’ll certainly be looking at some of the other works of a few authors. All in a lovely hardcover binding as well.

Just incredible book this quarter. The opening story by Maria Anderson stays with you, worth it just for that one story.
