Issue 24 of McSweeney's quarterly concern
McSweeney’s is an independent nonprofit publishing company based in San Francisco.
McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern began in 1998 as a literary journal that published only works rejected by other magazines. That rule was soon abandoned, and since then McSweeney’s has attracted some of the finest writers in the world, from George Saunders and Lydia Davis, to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and David Foster Wallace.
At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree.
Each issue is completely redesigned—a unique work of art. Some issues are hardcovers, some are paperbacks, one issue came in a box shaped like a sweaty human head, one was disguised as a bag of party balloons, one looked like a pile of junk mail.
Condition: Decorative cloth binding with title in gilt to front boards. Matching endpapers. Corners and binding sharp with a little sunning to spine. Internally as new.
Size: 220 x 170 mm
