McSweeney's Quarterly Concern

review 1: One of the coolest McSweeney's issues ever! Consists of eight small, thin hardback books--each a modern fable--that combine to make two paintings, one layered on top of the other, all held in place by little elastic bands. Very creative.It was a quick read, due to each book's short fabled content. But each had illustrations to supplement, most of the stories were excellent, and I really enjoyed the whole issue. Keep it up McSweeney's!
review 2: I like McSweeney's, and I love the packaging of this issue, and in theory the idea of it is terrific—that is to "resurrect and reinvent the art of the fable."I think the reality is that the eight stories are moderately entertaining, but I feel slightly unsatisfied. As if I were only just getting started yet had already... more reached the end. I feel like the issue is missing having at least one slightly more substantial story in the mix. less
