McSweeney's three-time National Magazine Award-winning quarterly brings you our 82st issue: a stunning double issue featuring a never before translated novella by Alejandro Zambra! The latest issue of McSweeney's National Magazine Award-winning quarterly comes to you housed inside an M-shaped, accordion-style, joined-at-the-back double-hardcover, folding and unfolding with art by Rob Sato to reveal a world that expands when the book is open and contracts when the book is closed. Inside this architectural feat of a book-art object is a stunning work of never-before-translated fiction by Alejandro Zambra; alongside dazzling new literature from Kenan Orhan, Deb Olin Unferth, and Hannah Kingsley-Ma; letters by Halle Butler, John Wray, and Massoud Hayoun; an Odyssean, toad-centric, natural-wine-drunk novella by Tom Bubul; a twelve-page, two-book-wide fever dream of a comic by Matt Panuska that can be read only if and when both books are open at once; a twenty-four-page booklet of additional drawings by Sato; and so much more. Breathe in the sweet late-spring air, and let this mysterious puzzle box of an issue envelop you. Featuring fiction by:

Olivia Parkes Ever changing, each issue of the quarterly is completely redesigned (there have been hardcovers and paperbacks, an issue with two spines, an issue with a magnetic binding, an issue that looked like a bundle of junk mail, and an issue that looked like a sweaty human head), but always brings you the very best in new literary fiction.

About the Author
McSweeney's Quarterly Concern began in 1998 as a literary journal that published only works rejected by other magazines. That rule was soon abandoned, and since then McSweeney's has attracted some of the finest writers in the world, from George Saunders and Lydia Davis, to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and David Foster Wallace. Recent issues have featured work by Tommy Orange, Hanif Abdurraqib, Lisa Taddeo, Mimi Lok, and Lesley Nneka Arimah. At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; we're committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree.
