Beschreibung
This issue is a hardcover book, and features four different dust jackets. One dust jacket has on it a man who seems to be suffering from terrible skin lesions. The second cover looks very much like the cover of Issue 1, with the addition of a medical drawing of a severed arm. The third cover is blank, with all of its images hiding on the back. Hiding from the bad people. The last cover is just red. Or, if you will, simply red.
In addition, under each dust jacket is a different cover. One features pictures of Ted Koppel. One features new work by Susan Minot. And a third features a variation on the second cover, described above, though this version is legible only with aid of mirror. This inner cover also is featured under the red dust jacket.
In this issue, priced reasonably at $22, no matter its cover, you will find many many good things, including pieces from the following Ann Cummins, Paul LaFarge, Lydia Davis, Susan Minot, Elizabeth Klemm, an interview with Ted Koppel (by Sarah Vowell), Ben Marcus, Alastair Reid, the irrepressible and neat-bearded Lawrence L.M. Weschler, Jr., and many more.
