First Glance: Sir!

New online journal Sir! is now live, bringing to you fine texts from lots of fine people, such as the short fiction “Margaret Atwood” by William Walsh. Below is a taste:

Margaret Atwood got into lots of fistfights as a young man. He wanted to like people, but people were not nice to him. One hundred percent of Margaret Atwood’s fights were about his name.

A list of contributors to the issue is here.

As you enjoy, send good thoughts to Brian Foley. It’s his fault.
