In a remarkable display of creativity and innovation, McSweeney’s, the beloved publisher, has once again pushed the boundaries of the printed form. To commemorate its 25th anniversary and 74th issue, McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern has been transformed into a unique and captivating publication that challenges traditional notions of what a magazine can be. 

This extraordinary issue comes packaged in a retro tin lunchbox, adorned with an illustration by the acclaimed Art Spiegelman, author of the graphic novel Maus. The lunchbox is filled with an array of thoughtfully designed treasures, including “author baseball cards” featuring literary luminaries such as Sheila Heti, Hanif Abdurraqib, and George Saunders, among others. The cards are accompanied by custom-designed pencils featuring original pieces by Lydia Davis, Catherine Lacey, and David Horvitz, which evolve in meaning as the pencil is used. 

The issue also includes additional artwork, showcasing Art Spiegelman’s imaginative interpretations of random watercolor inkblots. This 25th-anniversary edition of McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern is a testament to the publisher’s commitment to innovation and creativity, redefining the possibilities of the printed form. 

Through this unique publication, McSweeney’s continues to inspire and delight readers, solidifying its position as a leader in the world of independent publishing. Join in the celebration of this milestone anniversary and experience the magic of McSweeney’s for yourself.
