Virginia Quarterly Review Update

This includes Jonathan Lethem's "Phil in the Marketplace," among others.

VQR � Fall 2006 Special Fiction Issue: " “Writers on Writers” — A Special Issue of VQR!

To celebrate our 2006 National Magazine Award in Fiction, we’ve published a special supplement of original short stories—with a unique twist. We asked each contributor to write a story in which a famous writer appears by name. It was a challenging assignment, one we were unsure would yield fruit. But it did, and the results are amazing—and amazingly varied. The issue also boasts a specially commissioned cover design by Chris Ware—which irreverently covers the history of writers writing about writers from the oral tradition through James Joyce.

Sorry, issue sold out. But we've made all the stories available online!"
