49 Johnathon Lethem--5 short stories, forget the title, i think that Lethem is one of those writers that talks about the ennui of middle class boyhood, extended past natural limits, about men who are moorless, after femminism and queer rights left...his use of magic realism, and pop culture bricolouge, to the very core of his work, makes the peices more problematic, like springbound traps, but nessc. i loved two stories in this collection, the first, which uses a childhood game of murder adn then i never, to talk about the id, in a really coded way, and super goat man, the others didnt work quite as well, but an excellent volume

50) a dc newsprint collection of green lattern comics from the 50s, stupid fun
