LCRW: Book of the Week

Wed 8 May 2019 - Filed under: Not a Journal. | Posted by: Gavin

Hey! Guess which zine is the library bingo winner this week? LCRW! Zebulon Wimsatt of Concord Public Library wrote up LCRW for the Concord Insider’s “Book of the Week” feature:

“But perhaps the greatest joy of LCRW’s is the rather left-field work on display, even and especially from these established authors. Le Guin contributes poems to LCRW no. 16; to no. 26, Ted Chiang gives an essay on folk biology, memory, and whither science fiction should aspire; to issue no. 6, Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club, contributes the story ‘Heartland,’ about a fast-food worker in The Land of Oz. . . . Bonus local flavor: Lady Churchill’s was first sold out of Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop (then of Newberry Street in Boston, now of 1 Lee Hill Road in Lee). One of the shop’s proprietors is the novelist Vincent McCaffrey, and his A Slepyng Hounde to Wake (from, you guessed it, Small Beer Press) is available on our shelves. It’s about a bookseller who solves murders.

Read the whole column here and borrow LCRW from you local library through Hoopla here — and visit AVH online or in Lee.
