New In Fiction

A great early review for the playfully titled Orion You Came and Took All My Marbles by Kira Henehan


"[A] sublime and cryptic debut in the vein of Sam Lipsyte's The Subject Steve . . . At its heart, the novel is an impressionistic tale propelled by Henehan's gorgeously arch prose and a constant stream of droll humor. The ephemeral plotting will either be frustrating or fabulous, depending on the reader, but there's no doubt that Henehan is a talent." --Publishers Weekly

The book is published by Milkweed Editions and is due to hit stores May.

The latest arrival from McSweeney's

THE PANORAMA (Issue 33 of McSweeney’s Quarterly) is a one-time only, Sunday-edition-sized newspaper. It has news and sports and arts coverage, and comics (sixteen pages of glorious, full-color comics, from Chris Ware and Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman and many others besides) and a magazine, and is basically an attempt to demonstrate all the great things print journalism can (still) do, with as much first-rate writing and reportage and design (and posters and games and on-location Antarctic travelogues) as we could fit in there. It features journalism from Andrew Sean Greer, fiction from George Saunders and Roddy Doyle, dispatches from Afghanistan, and much, much more.
