I thought the Schweblin short story was brutal, but the illustration accompanying it is superb. Also, to me at least, doesn't in the least go with the story. Odd that I'm reacting more strongly these days to the artwork than to the prose or poetry. At least since Anthony Lane's essay on Byron, which surely made my top 10 of the year (and nobody else's, probably).
