The Best of McSweeney's : Deluxe Edition (Deluxe)

To commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the journal called "a key barometer of the literary climate" by The New York Times and twice honored with a National Magazine Award for fiction, here is The Best of McSweeney's--a comprehensive collection of the most remarkable work from a remarkable magazine.

Drawing on the full range of the journal thus far--from the very earliest volumes to our groundbreaking, Chris Ware--edited graphic novel issue to our most popular project yet, the full-on Sunday-newspaper issue known as San Francisco Panorama, The Best of McSweeney's is an essential retrospective of recent literary history.

With full-color contributions from some of the pioneering artists and illustrators featured in our pages over the years (Marcel Dzama, Art Spiegelman, and many more) and a breathtaking array of first-rate fiction (and some incredible nonfiction, too), this is a book to be pored over, and lasting proof that the contemporary short story is as vital as ever. This special deluxe edition will feature a slipcase, or a box, or a container of some kind, maybe even with magnets? Or combs? Or playing cards? It'll be great.
