The Middle Stories
Sheila Heti
Wildly acclaimed in Canada, this book, published there by Anansi, marks the debut of a remarkable young writer, first published by McSweeney's when she was twenty-three and living at home with her dad and brother. The Middle Stories is a strikingly original collection of stories, fables, and short brutalities that are alternately heartwarming, cruel, and hilarious. "Heti's stories are apoplectic with wonder. The Middle Stories proves Sheila Heti's undeniable skill as a storyteller; her prose is brilliantly crafted and everything about her stories is surprising and yet rings true." -Hour "Quite unlike anything else being written in this country... The stories are sculpted with a skewed grammar and their charmingly off-kilter cadence is neither totally contemporary nor archaic, possessed of a loopy logic all their own." -National Post "Heti's stories continue to raise eyebrows... Completely original and beautifully crafted." -Maclean's

McSweeney's Quarterly Concern publishes on a roughly quarterly schedule, and we try to make each issue very different from the last. One issue came in a box, one was Icelandic, and one looks like a pile of mail. In all, we give you groundbreaking fiction and much more. |

The Believer is a monthly magazine where length is no object. There are book reviews that are not necessarily timely, and that are very often very long. There are interviews that are also very long. The Believer is printed in four colors on heavy stock paper. |
