Keef's review
McSweeney's Issue 24 by Dave Eggers
I really enjoyed this issue. Half of it is peoples' remembrances of Donald Barthelme, several-hundred-word anecdotes about their experiences with him. I've been re-reading '40 Stories,' so this came at a particularly appropriate time. That half of the book also had two previously un-republished Barthelme stories. He really was a master.
The other half of the issue was made up of five new pieces of fiction, all good. I especially liked the new Jonathan Ames.
