McSweeney's #24

dave eggers

McSweeney's began as a literary journal which published only works rejected from other magazines. But after the first issue, the journal began to publish pieces written with McSweeney's in mind, attracting works from some of the finest writers in the country and many new talents. The journal is committed to finding new voices, publishing work of gifted but underappreciated writers, and pushing the literary form forward at all times.
