The Whirligig Issues 3-9 by Khaled Hosseini..These are stories of the 2 a.m. bar stool, of whiskey-scented cubicles, of mystical kangaroo caves, of prairie dog vacuums. They are stories of Socrates, of Asoka, of Pill Dombrowski, and of the amazing Martin Landawer. These are vital voices that echo within you long after out of earshot. Here is the authentic, the wild, the truth. Here is salvation scatter-shot through with shrapnel and firestorms and ferocity and lust and love. These are the best I found from 2001 through 2004.


41 short stories, 30+ poems, over 128,000 words by 40 writers, including: Khaled Hosseini (THE KITE RUNNER), Jeff Somers (THE AVERY CATES SERIES), Nick Mamatas, Jim Munroe, Mike Cipra, Ann Sterzinger, Richard Kostelanetz, and Lyn Lifshin.

"A goldmine of good fiction." - Xerography Debt magazine

"The Whirligig is one of the most important lit journals being produced in this country." - Karl Wenclas
