Ah, I love literary journals, and Tin House has been a favorite since 2002. Short stories, poetry, some book reviews & a mind-blowing essay or two usually make for a quick, light read. Not so for this issue!! I found myself pulled into silent mental debates about change v. permanence, genetics v. environment, and even science v. literature...in other words, not a quick, light read, but an engaging journey to places on the mental map I may not choose to go on my own.
Stand -out pieces include The Wild What by Amy Leach, Atomic City by Justin Nobel, and Patricia Lockwood's poems. Certainly enjoyable, but I'm hoping the next issue is a little "lighter."

Andrea Barrett's "The Particles" is the brightest gem in this chest of treasures. The essay on synesthesia and the interview with RadioLab were my other favorites, I intentionally left a couple pieces unread so I might have something fresh to look at when I revisit this issue. So fantastic.

Another great issue. I particularly liked the piece by Julia Elliott. The more I read by her the more I enjoy her work.
