REASONS TO SUBSCRIBE:
ISSUE 17:
Issue 17 is not an ordinary issue of McSweeney's. It is, however, an ordinary-looking bundle of mail, stacked and rubber-banded, containing the usual items: a recent issue of Yeti Researcher; a large envelope, called Envelope, containing fine oversized reproductions of new art; a sausage-basket catalog; a flyer for slashed prices on garments that are worn by more than one person at a time; a new magazine of experimental fiction called Unfamiliar; a couple letters... the usual. This might be the strangest and most pleasure-giving issue yet.
ISSUE 18:
In case some of you have decided that the written word is simply too static a medium for your active lifestyle, we'll be inserting a new DVD magazine inside your fiction-filled Issue 18, including films by Spike Jonze, David O. Russell, Miranda July, and other amazing filmmakers.
ISSUE 19 & 20:
These two will come out sometime next year.They will be awesome. Hopefully.
