About this book
McSweeneys National Magazine Award-winning Quarterly Concern celebrates our first quarter century of being an occasionally actually quarterly publication as so many mid-twentysomethings do (drenching ourselves in a sea of nostalgia for our misbegotten youth and looking forward into the promise of the future) with one of our most dazzling issues to date! Coming to you housed inside a deluxe tin lunchbox illustrated by the legendary Art Spiegelman McSweeneys 74 features a portfolio of pareidolia art by Spiegelman himself wherein he teases out images from random watercolor inkblots; original pieces by Lydia Davis Catherine Lacey and David Horvitz printed onto pencils and whose meaning is designed to change throughout the pencils lifespan; and three packs of collectible author cards packaged in real tear-away baseball-card packaging and featuring some of the finest writers of our time including Sheila Heti Hanif Abdurraqib George Saunders Sarah Vowell Michael Chabon Eileen Myles and many more. Find all this plus the official McSweeneys Anthology of Contemporary Literature: a book composed of some of the greatest works of McSweeneys past decade with a new introduction by longtime editor Claire Boyle. Here youll find award-winning shortlisted anthologized and otherwise feted and beloved stories from Lesley Nneka Arimah T.C. Boyle Mimi Lok Kevin Moffett Adrienne Celt Bryan Washington Samanta Schweblin C Pam Zhang Eskor David Johnson Julia Dixon Evans and more! Dive in with us readers as we bathe in the warmth of the past and get ready for our next quarter century of always thrilling and unexpected literary work. Ever changing each issue of the quarterly is completely redesigned (there have been hardcovers and paperbacks an issue with two spines an issue with a magnetic binding an issue that looked like a bundle of junk mail and an issue that looked like a sweaty human head) but always brings you the very best in new literary fiction.
