Issue #19 - Spring 2001

Editorial Comment Highlights

issue19

 

 

 

Issue 19 is much like every issue of the Claremont Review: it is full of delightful and imaginitive writing.

Included in the stories and poems that follow are a biology teacher who wears thongs while instructing about the lining of the uterus and a refugee who works at McDonalds who must come to grips with excess. A happy hour is poisened by the environmental movement, a trendy fashion functions as a rabbit foot during exams, and a candidate for suicide admits that all along she yearned only to be rescued.

Not only are perspectives presented in this issue fresh and startling, they are all well written literary-gems. So what else is new?
