Tin House 70g33hs1l
Exceptional reading once again from Tin House Jim Shepard s Positive Train Control is my favorite in this issue 208 Tin House Winter 2016 Volume 18 Issue 2 fits right into the magazine s larger aesthetic and approach In my opinion Tin House remains the best looking literary magazine on the market Of course the magazine s look doesn t determine its quality it s the words in the magazine that matter most I will focus my review exclusively on the fiction The star rating for the magazine only reflects the fiction The Tomb of Wrestling by Jo Ann BeardA highly experimental story about a home invasion robbery This piece manipulates time at every line break sometimes to its own detriment Because it also changes point of viewTo read the full review click here 208 There were a few stories that were interesting and for once the poetry didn t make me want to pull my hair out honestly I will never understand the poetry choices Tin House makes but while some of the stories had stunning writing styles and interesting ideas they just dragged on so long that it was a struggle to finish them and in some cases I didn t finish them There just wasn t a lot to hold on to 208 The Tomb of Wrestling by Jo Ann Beard 2Jack London by Anotnya Nelson 3Positive Train Control by Jim Shepard 4Zamboni by Rebecca Makkai 4 208 The best stories were Positive Train Control by Jim Shepard and Zamboni by Rebecca Makkah.

Not the best issue for sure but it did have some gems Jo Ann Beard s opener The Tomb of Wresting had some promise I loved how it started a humorous stream of consciousness exploration of how traumatic moments get slowed down going in and out of past at the moment when a moment turns the tables on her attacker but it went on for FAR too long By the time I finished it my zeal had become hate Jack London by Antonya Nelson was hard to follow in the worst of ways despite some spunky prose Things improve by Jim Sheapard s Positive Train Control and though I found the history of train operations to be interesting it also went too long with a pretty uninteresting plot The two fiction highlights were Micheal Andreasen s Bodies in Space a Vonnegut esque tale of adulterous remorse told though alien abduction and Rebecca Makkai s Zamboni another adulterous this one of a hockey mom who falls for the father of awkward figure skater Both make this issue worth it The conversation with Mark Leyner was a lot fun as well The poetry was a mixed bag but I enjoyed Miller Oberman s Christopher Soto s and Tommy Pico s offerings 208 I love Tin House 208 There s some decent stuff in here but I just wasn t quite as thrilled as I was by the recent series of issues Maybe I just had too high of expectations for this one or perhaps I just read on an off day Regardless I wanted a bit on the whole I did really get into the Leyner interview though 208 About a year after it s published when no one cares I finished last winter s issue I m not an expert on literary journals there are so many now who could be but I find this is one of the accessible ones for me The short stories are usually very good and I don t hate all of the poetry although there are still too many poems like this I make my poems edgyBy using lots of rando punctuation%Is that percent thingy punctuation evenI in a postprandial malaise a songbird warbles with adulterous melancholy Maybe I just don t get it probably I just don t get it but journals are LOADED with this kind of stuff and it makes my eyes bleed Short stories All 5 short stories were good to great The Tomb of Wrestling by Jo Ann Beard good but overly long and my least favorite Jack London by Antonya Nelson Positive Train Control by Jim Shepard Bodies in Space by Michael Andreasen Zamboni by Rebecca MakkaiNelson and Makkai s tied as my favorites Makkai takes a tale that is cliche as they come a hockey mom has an affair with another parent and makes it fresh and poignant Shepard somehow writes about railroad safety and our crumbling infrastructure and makes it interesting. Tin house 70 book pdf download Some book reviews the biggest name item being Sam Lipsyte s rave review of a collection of essays by Stanley Elkin Now that I see these journal issues are on GR and thus as much as I hate to say it count I ll probably include of them on my shelves 208 This was definitely one of Tin House s stronger issues The fiction reverbates and those of us of a certain age will enjoy the conversation with Mark Leyner. Tin house 70 book pdf download The Tomb of Wrestling was a tour de force and worth the price of purchase alone I look forward to reading from Jo Ann Beard Jack London reminds us that freedom is important than family Bodies in Space is an entertaining sci fi comedy of errors Positive Train Control and Zamboni remind us of where we could end up should things go horribly awry Highly recommended 208
