Product Description

The cover of the MacGuffin’s Vol. 37.2 is a postcard, painted by featured artist Kathleen Frank, sent from summer vacation. Travel stories abound: hike to ESSNWNAU-AL in Gracjan Kraszewski’s “First Impressions” and fly out to Saskatchewan on a brief hunt for truth and a certain mythological creature in Alexander Wentzell’s “Big Feet.” At the end of the day, take a load off with Maryann Corbett’s “Hotel Housekeeping.” For those stuck in summer school, Hedy Habra’s “Or How Did I Even Think I’d Make It Back in Time for Class?” is your point of departure, though you may miss the bell.
