Anthology of 4 stories with cool cover art. From the publishers: "In our second issue, published in October 2009, National Book Award and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead charts the rise to fame of a truth-telling comedian. Stephen O’Connor transports us to a cabin in the woods, where a young woman attempting to finish her dissertation in solitude becomes increasingly convinced she’s not alone. Pasha Malla follows a young writer as he explores how tragedy influences art—and how life falls short of it. Marisa Silver tells the tale of three sisters who perceive the truth about their parents through the eyes of some unexpected visitors. Finally, Man Booker winner and National Book Award finalist Lydia Davis’s solitary narrator acutely details the behavior of three cows who live in a pasture just across the road. Cover art by the Clayton Brothers: Rob Clayton and Christian Clayton."
