"The 826NYC Review" collects exceptional writing by students at McSweeney's 826NYC writing lab, as well as by students from across the five boroughs of New York. The works collected here range from poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, and showcase the dazzling talent of these young voices. Past issues included a story about miniature jumping dinosaurs, a choose-your-own adventure involving a cat named Excellent Phil, space-monkey fables, and pirate plays. "Issue Three" is an all-new collection of stories, poems, plays, and interviews covering similar (and not-so-similar) subject matter.

"826NYC Review" returns with the exceptional work by students from 826NYC and the five boroughs of New York City, including a play about the oldest living pirate and five original stories.

On a single morning in Paris, a variety of men awake to their obligations. Each wakes to a different burden, some with resignation, some with dread. Among them: a sidewalk engineer, a milliner, two physicists, a bandoneon player, and a sedimentologist. This is a very short book.
