Review:

"As everything goes increasingly haywire in our politics and in our world, we stand in ever-increasing need of the emotional and ethical education that great literary magazines can provide. And in what other forum than TIN HOUSE can you find William Gass, Steven Millhauser, Karen Russell and Stuart Dybek -- or Anne Carson, Alice Munro, Amy Hempel, and Sherman Alexie -- all in the same issue? And combined with essays on Raymond Chandler, or Fat City, or trauma? With each issue you finish, you’re more awake, erudite, socially aware, and alert to exciting new writers. What more do you want between two covers, anyway?" -- Jim Shepard
