| Publisher Description: For the six years since its founding, "Tin House's" mission has been to create a different kind of literary magazine, one that could shake off the genre's longstanding reputation as "staid" and "elitist." In each issue "Tin House" adheres to the highest literary and artistic standards to meld the sensibility of a literary quarterly with the broad appeal of a mass-market magazine. This issue, focused on fiction, includes short stories, profiles, author interviews, poetry, essays, and unique departments such as "Lost and Found" reviews of overlooked or underrated books and "Blithe Spirits" and "Readable Feast," which present tales and recipes for drinks and food in a literary way." |
