Sonora Review 55/56

The forthcoming new double issue of Sonora Review features, among other things, a massive tribute to my man David Foster Wallace, fiction by HTML Guru Ryan Call, local favorites Sean Lovelace and Keith Montesano, and if that’s not enough for you to want to buy it, well, just go back to one of our other recent threads arguing about who’s a dick and who isn’t… dick.

      Also features an essay by htmlgiant reader Henry Ronan-Daniell. I don’t really dig the cover, though. I think it should have been a big robot holding a tiny plant person.

      Got this is the mail the other day. It’s a stunning two cover affair. Buying it for its physical beauty would be enough but interviews with Junot Diaz AND Ron Hansen?

      don’t think i’ve ever read an interview w/hansen, that alone could be worthwhile. nebraska is such a great collection. and a dfw story — did the issue say when it was written? is it a leftover from earlier or post-oblivion? guess i’ll find out…
