Hi all,
The fall issue of *Western American Literature* (49.3) is in the mail, and
available on Project Muse
<http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/western_american_literature/>. It features
two articles and 16 reviews. Future issues will contain more articles, and
fewer reviews, but we were short on space and had a backlog of reviews to
publish.
