Get ready to storm the pit with the most metal, hardest-core merch we’ve ever created, and four issues of McSweeney’s Quarterly. Featuring lettering by Jesse Jacobs (whose work could be seen previously in our acclaimed horror issue), these high-quality solid cuff black Sportsman beanies were made right here in San Francisco—where it’s always beanie weather—just like McSweeney’s itself! This luxurious knitted headgear is the perfect companion as you enjoy the very best our National Magazine Award–winning literary journal has to offer, and keep your head at a deeply sensible temperature. Order yours today and declare to the world that the only authority you respect is that of cutting-edge fiction.

Here’s a look at what will be coming your way:

McSweeney’s Issue 77
Three-time National Magazine Award–winning McSweeney’s Quarterly returns, now helmed by new editor Rita Bullwinkel. Inside this ecstatic paperback you’ll find a stunningly exuberant and delirious portfolio of paintings by former Quarterly editor Claire Boyle, and new work by seventeen writers. Gasp in awe at a story by Mieko Kawakami told entirely through the lens of overheard phone calls; a sci-fi epic by Yuri Herrera; fresh, heartstopping, and scathingly beautiful prose by Venita Blackburn, Joanna Howard, and Icarus Koh—a never-before-published fiction writer; and brilliant letters from Nell Zink, Jennifer S. Cheng, Elisa Gonzalez, and more! Get through the winter blues with this issue’s vibrating, radiant, maximalist energy and stand squarely in opposition to the literary vogue de jour of cold, minimalist austerity.

And then?
We’ll follow up this issue with McSweeney’s 78: The Make Believers: a mind-bending and absolutely stunning commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, guest-edited by Thi Bui and Vu Tran. Then keep an eye out for two more issues of the thrilling and innovative collections that readers of McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern have come to expect for over two and a half decades.
