McSweeney's (2010), Paperback, 256 pages
Description
With tremendous new stories from Steven Millhauser and Roddy Doyle, an epic, genre-shattering novella from Hilton Als, and a really excellent special section on Norway's finest writers (featuring not just Per Petterson but also Kid Icarus and a woman named Blind Margjit)--along with, probably, correspondence from a man we can't yet name and an unbelievable disappearing-ink cover done by Jordan Crane--Issue 35 is a full-to-bursting edition in the tradition of the best ones we've ever done. For several hundred pages of unrivaled summer reading, this is your book.

One of the secrets of this issue is that the cover is thermo-active. If heated by the warmth of your finders, or leaving the book in a sunny spot (or running a hair dryer over it), the black portion of the cover changes to a body of water filled with koi and shadowy people caught in the current.
I can't remember too much about this issue's content, except I did not enjoy Hilton Als' entry, a surprise after Egger's rave in his introduction. I very much enjoyed artist Robert Barnes's selection of brown paper bags bags he drew art on for his daughters to carry their lunch to school. Charming and sweet.
About 100 pages of the issue are devoted to fiction by Norwegian writers.
