New in VQR

The Virginia Quarterly Review has posted the table of contents for its Winter 2008 issue, some of which is available online. Among the freebies: Reviews of Don WatersDesert Gothic and Manuel Muñoz‘s The Faith Healer of Olive Avenue, and a complete story, Drew Johnson‘s “The Last Dead.” Not online is a piece by Daniel Alarcón, whose Lost City Radio was one of my favorite novels of 2007.
