It’s a slim volume, this book, with a matte cover you can run your fingers over, pocket-width and actually pocketable, in jeans, khakis, slacks, and trousers, unlike the faux pocket editions, so popular in the 80s, which fit only into the pockets of enormous carnival pants, and on the matte cover are the names of the 24 writers locked within, their bios swollen with awards and laudations, their births in, and travels to, the countries of the world, their stories, word-counted in but the dozens or hundreds, make mince of the joys and sorrows of our lives. This volume—it is not slim. Published in an edition of 250.
““FAW” is also asking for a critical left hook (the reviewer invokes the spirit of Hemingway) by flouting Old School print standards in selecting blindingly small (“hip”?) type on its prefatory page in which the word “intellectual” is misspelled (ouch).” —Ella Christoph, New City Lit
