McSweeney's Issue 20 by Mcsweeney's Books
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, there5;s a fifty-page booklet containing a harrowing excerpt from Chris Adrian5;s The Children5;s Hospital..
This is a handsome, handsome issue, brimming with fulfilling things.
A Hologram for the King and Zeitoun, winner of the American Book Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, are two of Dave Eggers' best-selling novels. His work What Is the What was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and received the Prix Medici in France.
