There are high-stakes cock fights and incredibly ill-conceived murder plo, 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 McSweeney's has won multiple literary awards, including two National Magazine Awards for fiction, and has had numerous stories appear in The Best American Magazine Writing, the O.

There are high-stakes cock fights and incredibly ill-conceived murder plots, forays into booger-eating and wisdom from gruff old mermaids, church officials dressed as tortoises and ape urine-filled squirt guns, all under the same sumptuous hardcover roof, illustrated by Jesse Jacobs. Plus: splendid splendid new writing from Nadja Spiegelman, Claire Vaye Watkins, Etgar Keret, Mia McKenzie, Lawrence Weschler, Emma Hooper; a comic about one family's experience fighting the Detroit eviction machine; a photo essay that spans the length and width of the United States; an insider exclusive about censorship within the Myanmar Times by journalist RJ Vogt; and oh so much more.

      Book arrived quickly. It is a good value for the price, some damage and wear, but for the low price, I am okay with it
