"Tin House" is a beautifully designed periodical featuring the best
writers of our time alongside a new generation of talent who are poised
to become the most important voices of the future. The issues contain
unique departments such as "Lost and Found," in which writers review
overlooked or underrated books, and "Blithe Spirits" and "Readable
Feast," which present tales and recipes for drinks and food in a
literary way. This issue of "Tin House" will feature fiction,
nonfiction, poetry, and interviews revolving around the idea of play and
sport. From poker to mind games to soccer, readers will find unique
voices and ideas about games, play, and sport, from the personal to the
cultural, from the inside and the outside, positive and negative, from
within big business sports to profiles of privately obsessive
participants in willfully obscure games.
