Enter a New World of Fiction

After picking up McSweeney's 10 in the local bookstore I felt I had to read the other quarterlies. This book provides great snapshots of over a dozen unknown authors, giving a platform for the future kings of fiction to test the wings. Although I read this book a year ago I still think of its manipulations of truth and perception through hoaxes and subterfuge. If you haven't got into McSweeney's yet, it's time. Every quarter the journal is different and is a great read everytime!
