Chris reviewed McSweeney's. by Dave Eggers (McSweeney's Quarterly Concern)
Review of "McSweeney's." on 'LibraryThing'
3 stars
Issue 12 features 12 stories by 12 new writers, a story by McSweeney regular Roddy Doyle and a selection of 20-minute flash fiction curated by Dave Eggers. As always with McSweeney's, it's a mixed bag and your enjoyment of it is going to depend to some extent on your tolerance for hipster literary showboating. Highlights for me were the Doyle story and the piece about growing up in Ceausescu's Romania by Andrea Dezso that reads like dystopian Elena Ferrante.
