About this title

Synopsis

In classic quadruple-stamped hardcover clothing, Issue 39 offers a whole lot to behold—Elmore Leonard’s latest Karen Sisco caper and Roberto Bolaño’s Neochilean road trip, J.T.K. Belle’s unkillable bovine and Benjamin Weissman’s Louella Tarantula, Julie Hecht on Marimekko dresses and Jess Walter on going to cardboard, and amazing, far-ranging fiction from Amelia Grey and Abigail Maxwell and Yannick Murphy, too. (Plus some pretty incredible nonfiction on the fall of the Peacock Throne.) Don’t miss this one!

About the Authors

Benjamin Cohen is an associate professor in the Engineering Studies and Environmental Studies Programs at Lafayette College in Easton, PA. Holding STS and history together, his interests sit at the intersection of the histories of science, technology, and the environment, with particular attention to industrial agriculture from the 19th century to today. His current project is an environmental history of the origins of manufactured food, told through a story of late 19th century pure food debates, "Pure Adulteration: Cheating on Nature in the Age of Manufactured Food" (under contract with the University of Chicago Press). He is also a writer for a variety of non-academic forums and co-host of Various Breads and Butters.

Marco Kaye has contributed to McSweeney’s Internet Tendency since 2007. He has an MFA from NYU, and has been published in the New Yorker’s Daily Shouts & Murmurs.

Dicky Murphy's writing has appeared in The San Francisco Panorama and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet.

Elizabeth Sankey is a writer from London. She also sings in the band Summer Camp.

David-Ivar Herman Düne records music as Herman Dune or Yaya Herman Dune. He has shown his drawings, in black ink and gouache, on both sides of the Atlantic.
