McSweeney's Issue 33<br>The San Francisco Panorama 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.

This is the upcoming art issue's cover. 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.

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.
