I know you're not crazy about McSweeny's, Matos, but one of their issues had "covers" as a theme & I think Rick Moody covered a Chekov story ("The Egg" - wasn't that Chekov?)

I thought you said something in a post once about "that smug clique at McSweeny's" or something like that. I remembered it because I like McSweeny's, most of the time.

Randomly dreamt that the Manic Street Preachers did "The Tide Is High" in a rocked-up version - though a song about sea levels might be a bit too political for them these days.
