Book Reviews of McSweeney's Issue 11 (McSweeney's Quarterly Concern)
Book Review: Super Short Stories
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great collection of short fiction, funny letters to the editor, and a play. There isn't a single theme and the authors are not as well-known as the last issue from McSweeney's--"The Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales"--but it is still a great anthology. The DVD that accompanies the book is fairly low budget, but very funny and almost worth the purchase price all by itself. I would encourage people interested in this book to buy it through McSweeney's own web site if possible--it is nice to support independent publishers directly and they have a lot of neat stuff on their web site that you will miss if you buy from Amazon. This will be an enjoyable book for all lovers of quirky, funny and very well written short fiction.
