ADVANCE PRAISE “A compendium of unlikely pleasures: short prose and illustrations that challenge us to think about meaning and narrative . . . These are oblique stories, stories that exist in the interior, getting at the things we know but do not know we know.” —David Ulin, LOS ANGELES TIMES “Erudite, elegant and stubbornly experimental.” —Rumaan Alam, THE NEW YORK TIMES “A beautiful annual that remains staunchly avant-garde in its commitment to work that is oblique, enigmatic and impossible to ignore . . . stories that leave a flashbulb’s glow behind the eyes even as they resist sense.” —Rachel Syme, THE NEW YORK TIMES
