Description

Dave Eggers co-founded Might in 1994 to be “a Goddamn Brain Picnic for the Young and Restless.” After an unprofitable three-year run, he followed with Timothy McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, whose contributors have included Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, and David Foster Wallace. McSweeney’s received the National Magazine Award for fiction in 2007, and Eggers remains a major literary force in the twenty-first century. This issue is signed by Eggers (as McSweeney) and contributor Sarah Vowell.
