The Believer February 2006
The Ecology of Empire by Ginger Strand
Virgil’s Aeneid describes the conspicuous consumption that underwrites the Roman Empire—and our own.
A Dream of a Small but Unlost Town by Izzy Grinspan
Donald Harington turns the dirty stories people tell on their front porch (in Arkansas) into twisty diction worthy of Nabokov.
New York Underground by Alec Wilkinson
The irresistible quest to discover every subterranean tunnel in New York City.
Non-Essential Stock Photography, Vol. II by Brian McMullen
The Slim Shady Essay by Robert Christgau
How will history judge Eminem’s work?
Gary Lutz, interviewed by Ross Simonini
“Every sentence should bestow a fresh verbal bounty on the reader.”
Peter Singer, interviewed by Sahar Akhtar
Educated liberals are still eating meat, and the Great Ape Project is going way too slowly.
J. J. Audubon in Pursuit of the Golden Eagle by R. Kikuo Johnson
Demetri Martin, interviewed by Litsa Dremousis
This is the interview that almost destroyed the internet. Just kidding; it’s an interview with a comedian who has been on TV.
Angélique Kidjo, interviewed by Patrick Knowles
Blending Caribbean pop, funk, samba, and at least six other genres, Kidjo is the new champion of African musical flexibility.
Plus: The 2nd annual Believer Book Awards, Nick Hornby, Amy Sedaris, Javier Marías, a ridiculous new translation of Marcus Aurelius, hungover letters to Walt Whitman, and more.

McSweeney's Quarterly Concern publishes on a roughly quarterly schedule, and we try to make each issue very different from the last. One issue came in a box, one was Icelandic, and one looks like a pile of mail. In all, we give you groundbreaking fiction and much more. |

The Believer is a monthly magazine where length is no object. There are book reviews that are not necessarily timely, and that are very often very long. There are interviews that are also very long. The Believer is printed in four colors on heavy stock paper. |

Wholphin is a quarterly DVD magazine featuring short films, documentaries, animation, and instructional videos that have not, for whatever reason, found wide release. Recent issues of Wholphin have included films by Spike Jonze, David O. Russell, Miranda July, Miguel Arteta, Errol Morris, and Steven Soderbergh, and performances from John C. Reilly, Selma Blair, Patton Oswalt, Andy Richter, a monkey-faced eel, and many others.

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.
