VICE and I have reached a point in our relationship where I pretty much flip half-heartedly through the DOs and DON’Ts, then roll over and go to sleep. The thrill has gone. I’m like, "Yawn, yes, I have heard that one about when you got high with models and ended up in a forest orgy. CAN YOU PLEASE EXPAND YOUR REPERTOIRE??". So you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to find myself completely absorbed in their latest fiction issue.**You’ll find hours of sweet reading inside, from interviews with literary greats like Martin Amis, to wicked short stories by people like Amanda Maxwell. Highlights include an interview with "literary bodysnatcher" Lee Israel, and a few words of wisdom from Max Brooks, the latest member of the zombie cognoscenti. Oh, and don’t worry – there’s still a chick with her pants off on the cover.
