McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern Issue 37 will be a 256-page hexagonal hardcover book that has been designed to look like a 3D representation of a regular old rectangular hardcover book.
This amazing issue features Jonathan Franzen and his thoughts on Upper East Side ambition, Jess Walter on the men who ride children’s bicycles in Spokane, Washington, Joe Meno on women who want to be eaten by lions, Etgar Keret and Joyce Carol Oates on murder and language in a restaurant called Cheesus Christ and at Gate C34 of Newark International Airport, respectively—and ten more stories besides, five of them strange and beautiful pieces from Kenya. Other topics covered include unemployment, drumming vs. painting, and Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square car-bomb attempter.
This full-color issue will feature illustrations on every page and will ship in early April.
