“Ever shape-shifting and ambitious, McSweeney’s has redefined what a literary institution can be.”
—Catherine Lacey, McSweeney’s contributor and author of Pew
Reunited and it feels so good. After a half decade away, the award-winning Believer magazine is back at McSweeney’s. To celebrate, we’re bringing back our oldest combo of all: the Believer + McSweeney’s Quarterly Combo Subscription. An awe-inspiring cornucopia of literary content awaits you.
This combo subscription brings you four issues of interviews, essays, and reviews in this beloved and deluxe illustrated sixty-four-page printed magazine AND four issues of our thrilling and always boundary-pushing acclaimed literary journal. Cumulatively these pages have found themselves finalists for the National Magazine Award nearly an even two dozen times, and been home to some of the most exciting authors working today. Treat yourself and welcome our dearest old friends back into the McSweeney’s fold once more.
Here’s a preview of what you’ll find coming your way
Believer Issue 141
Inside issue 141 of The Believer: A mystery of literary lineage involving Muriel Rukeyser and Robinson Jeffers; an extensive, reported feature from Dave Eggers on his trip to Ukraine; Andrea Bajani on the rarely discussed, highly stigmatized experience that touches almost every writer’s career; new poems from Jenny Xie, Aria Aber and Emily Jungmin Yoon; new comics by Gabrielle Bell and Noah Van Sciver; plus interviews with Michael Imperioli, Eula Biss, Dale Dickey, and legendary hypeman Flavor Flav. Not to mention Nick Hornby on what he’s been reading; Carrie Brownstein answering your most challenging requests for advice; Brandon Hobson on Ishtar. Plus one-page reviews on small-press books, odd literary games—and still, somehow more!
McSweeney’s Issue 70
Inside issue 70—compiled by deputy editor James Yeh—you’ll find brilliant fiction (and two essays) from places near and far; including Patrick Cottrell’s story about a surprisingly indelible Denver bar experience; poignant, previously untranslated fiction from beloved Danish writer Tove Ditlevsen; Argentine writer Olivia Gallo’s English-language debut about rampaging urban clowns; the rise and fall of an unusual family of undocumented workers in rural California by Francisco González; and Indian writer Amit Chaudhuri’s sojourn to the childhood home of Brooklyn native Neil Diamond. Readers will be sure to delight in Guggenheim fellowship recipient Edward Gauvin’s novella-length memoir-of-sorts in the form of contributors’ notes, absorbing short stories about a celebrated pianist (Lisa Hsiao Chen) and a reclusive science-fiction novelist (Eugene Lim), flash fiction by Véronique Darwin and Kevin Hyde, and a suite of thirty-six very short stories by the outsider poet Sparrow. Plus letters from Seoul, Buenos Aires, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Lake Zurich, Illinois, by E. Tammy Kim, Drew Millard, and more.
