Description
To commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the journal called Ā"a key barometer of the literary climateā by The New York Times and twice honored with a National Magazine Award for fiction, here is The Best of McSweeney'sĀ -- a comprehensive collection of the most remarkable work from a remarkable magazine. Drawing on the full range of the journal thus farĀ -- from the very earliest volumes to our groundbreaking, Chris WareĀ -- edited graphic novel issue to our most popular project yet, the full-on Sunday-newspaper issue known as San Francisco Panorama, The Best of McSweeney's is an essential retrospective of recent literary history. With full-color contributions from some of the pioneering artists and illustrators featured in our pages over the years (Marcel Dzama, Art Spiegelman, and many more) and a breathtaking array of first-rate fiction (and some incredible nonfiction, too), this is a book to be pored over, and lasting proof that the contemporary short story is as vital as ever.
This special deluxe edition will feature a slipcase, or a box, or a container of some kind, maybe even with magnets? Or combs? Or playing cards? It'll be great.
