Michael Carson, who has a review in this issue, is joining the Numéro Cinq masthead as a contributor. He’ll be doing reviews and essays, including an essay on story structure coming out in the May issue and another book review on the hob for later. Michael is a short story writer and a veteran of the Iraq war, but best of all, he is intelligent, generous, curious, and thinks obsessively about books and writing. Fits right in.
