I've been hard on some of the recent McSweeney's Issues, but this is one of the strongest I've read. Not a weak spot on it.

Didn't read the entire volume, but focused on the Croatian literature section that included six translated short stories, the last 1/3 of the volume.

There's a few gems in McSweeneys 48, but overall I can't say this was one of my favorites. Perhaps it was the stories from Croatian authors. Some were good, but most were just okay. Bad translations? Who knows. Maybe it just wasn't the right time for me to read this issue.
