Tin House: Spring 2009
by Rob Spillman, Lee Montgomery, Michelle Wildgen, Win McCormack
Product Description
With innovative and colorful design, innovative regular features appearing alongside award-winning fiction and essays, and even recipes and word games,
Tin House has established itself as one of America's most eagerly awaited literary magazines. Departments such as "Lost and Found," "Blithe Spirits," and interviews with some of the culture's most fascinating and talented people have made it a favorite of both readers and critics. Like all issues, there's an overarching theme to this latest one: appetite. Readers are encouraged to bring their appetites for food, sex, drugs, drink, and their hunger for resources, entertainment, gratification, and humiliation. The issue features stories, poems, and essays that fit and sometimes wildly expand upon Webster’s definitions for
appetite as an inherent craving” or any of the instinctive desires necessary to keep up organic life.”
