The Believer has come home! After a half decade away, the award-winning Believer is back at McSweeney’s. Subscribe now, and four times a year, you will receive, in perfect-bound print, all the articles, interviews, reviews, poems, and columns you’ve grown to love, plus a host of brand-new features, reportage, games, puzzles, and more. You will have the opportunity to study up close the beautiful illustrations, the short- and long-form comics, and the work of our regular raft of guest artists and photographers. You can pore over each issue’s two-page vertically oriented schema spread, more or less unreproducible online. You will enjoy the feel of the sumptuous recycled acid-free heavy stock paper against your hands, fingertips, and face.

So subscribe, and be among the first to receive each issue of The Believer, a twelve-time National Magazine Award finalist.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll find coming your way

Believer Issue 143
In Issue 143 of The Believer, Katie Gee Salisbury searches for the true originators of cinema’s most famous Asian detective; public educator Lauren Markham reports on America’s homeschooling surge; and Anika Banister tracks Garfield’s transition from syndicated comic to viral meme muse. We have feature interviews with Jeff Daniels, Gene Luen Yang, Nathaniel Dorsky, and Annie-B Parson, plus a micro-chat with Noor Naga. Also, Ken Howe revisits his decade-long hunt for every volume in the New York Edition of Henry James, and Mallika Rao unpacks the female ingenuity behind a Turkmen carpet. You’ll find more from the usual suspects, Nick Hornby and Carrie Brownstein, as well as guest columns by Deb Olin Unferth and Maris Kreizman. Also: a new comic about an odd bird from Teddy Goldberg, author trivia typewritten by Joy Williams herself, poems, reviews, and even more.
