Review Excerpt:

Many accounts run up the old stranger-than-fiction flag, most notably [Laura] Sewell Matter's piece regarding her discovery, on an Icelandic beach, of a page torn from a book; captivated by the “amazingly, almost unbelievably, bad” excerpt, she sets off on a global search for the complete novel. Proving again his chops as an anthologist, Gutkind’s latest collection—which also includes Heidi Julavits, Pagan Kennedy, William deBuys and the guy behind IAmGettingFat.blogspot.com—is a 30-run homer, a whirlwind of moods and thoughts captured by some of the biggest talents on the essay and blog beat.
