Tin House is one of my favorite literary magazines, both because it includes an eclectic mix of material and because it's so well designed.
Highlights of this issue for me included
- Hugh Ryan's Gather These Rosebuds: On the Diaries of Others - Eavesdropping on History (about his habit of collecting old diaries and what he has learned by analyzing diaries from different periods);
- Carl Adamshick's Conscription in the Kingdom (about his visit to the literary archives of poet and pacifist William Stafford);
- Which Way to the Ostering Cloud? by Patrick Ryan (short fiction)
- Familiar Music by Walter Mosley (short fiction)
