This issue has five different sections each printed with pages that have different sizes or colors than the others and yet they all share the same binding. Physically, it's a very strange item. Noteworthy here is that the Cliffhanger stories started in issue 57 are concluded; it was a neat trick and the anticipation probably made at least one of the stories better than it really was. This issue also has four essays from the likes of Dave Eggers and Neil Gaiman celebrating historic ACLU cases along with why the case is important to each of the authors and society as a whole. In addition there's a glossy photo spread, which seems to address self-image, and an excerpt from Whitney Emerson's book, "Heaven." (

A nice mix of short stories, photo art, letters to the editor, and previews of coming stories from the good folks at McSweeney’s. There were no home runs this go around but the overall quality is pretty good, and these were my favorites:

In Search of a Better Ending by Annesha Mitha
The Asylum by Julie Hecht
The Famous Writer’s Ashes by Carlea Holl-Jensen
Letters to the editor from Rufi Thorpe, probably my favorite of all, and makes me want to read one of her books.
And last but certainly not least, the fantastic excerpts from Fight of the Century: Writers Reflect on 100 Years of Landmark ACLJ cases, with those cited by Jacqueline Woodson and Dave Eggers really standing out. (
