WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
Based on popular request, we've created the McSweeney's Book Release Club. It's similar to a book-of-the-month club--we'll send BRC subscribers the next ten books we put out, roughly one a month. We will do this for just $100 (plus shipping).

All Known Metal Bands
by Dan Nelson
This volume contains the names of over fifty thousand metal bands. If one presumes that each of these bands had an average of four members, and multiplies that by the bands, one might figure that at least a quarter of a million humans have pledged allegiance to one of these groups of wandering beasts. Never has a music relegated to the underground of a civilization had so many devotees; no radio need transmit the power of this music, for it is sought fiercely and freely by the doomed and the dispossessed, whose ears are never touched by songs of love and weakness.

Vacation
By Deb Olin Unferth
One man follows his wife, who is following another man. Earlier, that first man follows a bird out the window. Later, he doesn't follow a dolphin into the ocean. The earth quakes, lives are threatened, and a dolphin swims
free. With deadpan humor and skewed wordplay, Deb Olin Unferth weaves a mystery of hope and heartbreak.
Out of Exile
Millions of people have fled from conflicts and persecution in all parts of this Northeast African country, and many thousands more have been enslaved as human spoils of war. In this book, refugees and abductees recount their escapes from the wars in Darfur and South Sudan, from political and religious persecution, and from abduction by paramilitary groups. In their own words, they recount life before their displacement and the reasons for their flight. They describe life in the major stations on the "refugee railroads": in the desert camps of Khartoum, the underground communities of Cairo, the humanitarian metropolis of Kakuma refugee camp, and the still-growing internally displaced persons camps in Darfur. Millions of people have fled from
