“The Better of McSweeney’s, Volume 2″ can now be purchased at the McSweeney’s store website. Featuring 22 new drawings based on some amazing short stories by writers like Steven Millhauser, Chris Adrian, Wells Tower, J. Erin Sweeney, Allison Smith, Tom Bissell, and Philipp Meyer.
McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern features every kind of writing you can imagine, plus a few brand new kinds. The Better of McSweeney’s, Volume II, in turn, features post-apocalyptic robberies, immigration dramas, speculative inventions, and naval disasters. There are tragically dysfunctional families and enjoyably dysfunctional families. There are movie stars and bears; there are medicine men and Roman centurions; there are pigs that are being raised in space.
This collection is dedicated to Issues 11–20. In short, this is a rollicking assortment of strange and wonderful contemporary literature, and a celebration of fiction at the dawn of the 21st century.
