Carol EmshwillerMichael ChabonAimee Bender

Issue 12 is made up of three parts.
The first and largest section consists entirely of new writers -- new to us, probably new to you, and not even well-known by their own families.
Part two is a new story from Roddy Doyle, featuring Jimmy Rabbitte of The Commitments.
Part three is a collection of twenty-minute stories, by which we mean stories written in twenty minutes, from all sorts of people that you know and do not know.

Contributions from Steve Almond, Aimee Bender, Jill Bialosky, James Boice, Ryan Boudinot, Judy Budnitz, Douglas Coupland, Ann Cummins, Andrea Deszo, Roddy Doyle, David Ebershoff, Jennifer Egan, and many others!

This quarterly takes the form of a more traditionally published paperback; divided into four colored sections; cover flaps can be unfolded to view 3D illusion inside.
