Three-time National Magazine Award-winning McSweeney’s Quarterly returns, now helmed by new Editor Rita Bullwinkel. Inside this ecstatic paperback you’ll find a stunningly exuberant and delirious portfolio of paintings by former Quarterly Editor Claire Boyle, and new work by seventeen writers. Gasp in awe at a story by Mieko Kawakami told entirely through the lens of overheard phone calls; a sci-fi epic by Yuri Herrera; fresh, heartstopping, and scathingly beautiful prose by Venita Blackburn, Joanna Howard, and Icarus Koh—a never-before-published fiction writer; and brilliant letters from Nell Zink, Jennifer S. Cheng, Elisa Gonzalez, and more! Get through the winter blues with this issue’s vibrating, radiant, maximalist energy and stand squarely in opposition to the literary vogue de jour of cold, minimalist austerity.
