McSweeney‘s Issue 26 (McSweeney‘s Quarterly Concern)

McSweeney‘s has grown to be one of the country‘s best and largest-circulation literary journals. The journal is committed to finding new voices, publishing work of gifted but underappreciated writers, and pushing the literary form forward at all times. MCSWEENEY‘S 26 comes in three parts: two small, books of stories, with work set overseas (Kazakhstan, Bosnia, Spain, Canada) and on our shores (Arkansas, Oregon, Boston, Los Angeles) by writers large and small (John Brandon, Amanda Davis, Uzodinma Iweala, and eight more), and a third book we‘re calling WHERE TO INVADE NEXT, edited by Stephen Elliott, with everything you‘ll need to hear (the threats, the steps, the targets) to launch our next seven wars. Read them one at a time, or all at once, but know that this one‘s got it all--whirlwind visions of the world of today, and hard-eyed essays about which parts of it should be blown up immediately.
