Description

The alternate universe that Hunter Kennedy has built around The Minus Times stands apart and stands the test of time. The Minus Times Collected features all 30 nearly-impossible-to-find issues over the past 20 years, with work from authors like Dan Clowes, David Berman, Sam Lipsyte and Patrick deWitt, as well as an interview with a then-unknown Stephen Colbert. The Minus Times has earned a fervent following for its lack of literary pretension. Now, finally, every issue of this improvised literary almanac can be bought together, typos and all.

Reviews
