Author Description

Editor Win McCormack started Tin House in 1999 as an antidote to "those stuffy, staid literary magazines that go down like cough medicine.” His gamble has paid off handsomely — Tin House is now ranked alongside such magazines as McSweeney’s and The Paris Review as one of the most important contemporary literary venues. Noted also for its high-style design, Tin House features the best writers on the scene, along with a new generation of talent the editors believe will become significant writers of the future. Equally engaged with pop culture and high art, the Tin House: Graphic Issue expands the magazine’s mission by exploring the ways in which visual art and text interact — or collide. Incorporating original art, stories, and interviews, this issue highlights the work of the most provocative graphic novelists, political cartoonists, artists, and writers today.
