McSweeney's Issue 76 (McSweeney's Quarterly Concern): Aftershocks (Syrian Fiction)

by Dave Eggers (Editor), Rita Bullwinkel (Editor), Alia Malek (Editor)

Overview

McSweeney's three-time National Magazine Award-winning quarterly brings you our 76th issue: Aftershocks. A brilliant and bold collection of fiction from Syria, featuring authors many of which are translated here for the very first time. Guest-edited by Alia Malek.

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 At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; we’re committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree.

Editorial Reviews

"A key barometer of the literary climate."
—The New York Times

“An enduring literary presence.”
—Chicago Tribune

“Ever shape-shifting and ambitious, McSweeney’s has redefined what a literary institution can be. Their commitment to publishing strong, strange voices and stories from the periphery has always been an inspiration and I’m always excited to see what they’ll do next.”
—Catherine Lacey, McSweeney’s contributor and author of Pew
