McSweeney’s Issue 28 by Dave Eggers

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars

I like McSweeney’s, and I love the packaging of this issue, and in theory the idea of it is terrific—that is to “resurrect and reinvent the art of the fable.”

I think the reality is that the eight stories are moderately entertaining, but I feel slightly unsatisfied. As if I were only just getting started yet had already reached the end. I feel like the issue is missing having at least one slightly more substantial story in the mix.
