About This Item
McSweeney's Publishing, 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" In color pictorial boards, 8vo, 199pp. 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, there¹s a fifty-page booklet containing a harrowing excerpt from Chris Adrian¹s The Children¹s Hospital.. This is a handsome, handsome issue, brimming with fulfilling things.
