| Publisher Description: What are the new class indicators in our increasingly digitized, global, and green world? "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. This fall, Tin House examines class in America, looking at it from a number of angles. Included are those who identify with a nontraditional class, or consider themselves classless, along with those who have immigrated from class-bound or class-less countries or societies. Content includes short stories, profiles, author interviews, poetry, essays, and 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. |
