| Publisher Description: "Tin House" is a beautifully designed periodical featuring the best writers of our time alongside a new generation of talent who are poised to become the most important voices of the future. The issues contain unique departments such as "Lost and Found," in which writers review overlooked or underrated books, and "Blithe Spirits" and "Readable Feast," which present tales and recipes for drinks and food in a literary way. This issue of "Tin House" will feature fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and interviews revolving around the idea of play and sport. From poker to mind games to soccer, readers will find unique voices and ideas about games, play, and sport, from the personal to the cultural, from the inside and the outside, positive and negative, from within big business sports to profiles of privately obsessive participants in willfully obscure games. |
