McSweeney's Issue 83 (McSweeney's Quarterly Concern)
McSweeney's three-time National Magazine Award-winning quarterly brings you our 83rd issue: a beautiful hardcover stuffed to the brim with unforgettable fiction.
McSweeney's 83 finds us back in the comfort and safety of single-spined hardcoverness, with a multiply foil-stamped cover by Eric Nyquist and new fiction by Daniel Borzutzky, Chiara Barzini, Miranda McLeod, Shruti Swamy, Rosalind Margulies, and SJ Kim; letters by Robert Plunket, Ashton Politanoff, and Aruni Kashyap; a stunning 16-page comic by Kevin Reilly; dreamy interior illustrations by Soomyeong Kim; and so much more. In this issue there are stalkers, bad dads, driver’s tests, absurdist visa applications, dentist appointments, misbehaving children, vampires, Italian islands, plane crashes, paper factories, Zoom calls, miscarriages, kings, castles, and the Pacific Northwest. Open this issue to step into this magnificent, many-voiced expanse.
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.
