3.0
A fine little magazine! Worth it for two pieces of fiction:
“Interpreters of Men Get It On” by Fiona Maazel, published in The Common
“Exquisite Corpse” by Lauren Groff, published in The Common
The two pieces of historical fiction I did not vibe with, and the Ted Conover piece was interesting but not that interesting. A good editorial board for this magazine and a good general vibe, but I didn't connect to that much here! Glad it exists.
Connection: I worked at the Tin House Summer Workshop where Lauren Groff was teaching one summer.
