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.
