false 1735213 1 <div>Beautifully designed and showcasing the best of both well-known writers and rising stars, <i>Tin House</i> has pulled out of the pack to gain a reputation as the most important of contemporary literary magazines. Outsider literature, like outsider art and music, has become increasingly popular in our corporatized, consumerist society. The Spring theme issue of <i>Tin House</i> examines this trend in depth. Subtitled &#8220;Off the Grid,&#8221; this special issue includes powerful work by or about people or institutions that function &#8212; or don&#8217;t &#8212; out of the bounds of &#8220;normal&#8221; society. Highlighting a unique kind of raw creativity unmediated by formal training or standard narrative strategies, the issue includes a &#8220;Lost & Found&#8221; section that contains brief appreciations of texts written outside of conventional publishing, writings done in prison and mental institutions, exile and &#8220;in secret,&#8221; and in fantastic realms beyond.</div> 1732717 28 2 2008 Tin House Spring Issue 2008: Off the Grid total:22|5:3|4:11|3:8|2:0|1:0| 22 83 30 3 1735213 0979419840 9780979419843 22 3 3.77 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1735213.Tin_House_Spring_Issue_2008_Off_the_Grid 0 0 false Tue Apr 15 18:46:20 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 18:46:20 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1735213 0979419840 9780979419843 22 3 3.77 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1735213.Tin_House_Spring_Issue_2008_Off_the_Grid 3 0 false Wed Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 04:57:12 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 15:41:58 -0700 2008 -- Ron Carlson's short story "At the Broken Ridge" (reminded me of Scott)
