It’s true. We hereby announce the debut of the Small Chair, a weekly selection from all branches of the McSweeney’s family. One week you might receive a story from the upcoming Quarterly, the next week an interview from the Believer, the next a short film from a future Wholphin. Occasionally, it might be a song, an art portfolio, who knows. $5.99 (or local equivalent) gets you the app plus six months of weekly excitement—a half-year of surprises, all delivered straight to your pocket.
