McSweeney’s Issues 1–3 Reissue Set | Featuring Wallace, Hodgman, Lethem – Still Sealed!

Description

Founded by Dave Eggers in 1998, McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern quickly reshaped the landscape of American literary publishing. What started as a curiosity—a small, brainy, well-designed journal with a sly sense of humor—soon evolved into one of the most significant indie lit ventures of its era. Each issue is famously idiosyncratic in design, ranging from newspapers to bundles of mail to full-blown hardcover books. But always at its core: a commitment to fresh voices, sharp fiction, and literary ambition.

This un-opened, shrinkwrapped reissue set collects the long out-of-print Issues One, Two, and Three, originally released between 1998–1999 and now bundled together. Contributors include David Foster Wallace, John Hodgman, Jonathan Lethem, Judy Budnitz, and Jim Stallard. These are exact reproductions of the first three issues, “warts and all,” as the publisher notes—right down to the original oddball design flourishes and tongue-in-cheek footnotes.

Essential for fans of contemporary fiction and literary magazine collectors alike.
