Four classic issues of the quarterly, all at once -- a year of yearning gratified in a single power-packed package. A perfect entry for new fans or dogged collectors. Contributors include Denis Johnson, Joyce Carol Oates, Roddy Doyle, TC Boyle, Joe Meno, Lawrence Weschler, Ann Beattie, Chris Adrian, Edmund White, Steven Millhauser, Yannick Murphy, Robert Coover, and so many more.
The content and designs of these issues vary wildly, running the gamut of whatever it is that makes McSweeney's whatever it is. Issue 14: GW Bush as double-amputee, engravings of dirigibles; Issue 15: Icelandic, yellow; Issue 16: comb, cards, cloth, trees; Issue 18: labyrinth, portable, demons.
A retail value of $87! For you, less.
