OUT OF STOCK!
What tha!? Yes, it's the big square head issue of McSweeney's. A literal (commodified) concretization of various figures of speech, such as, "what's on your mind?" "what are you thinking?" and "you are what you read," as well as a possible retort to "you've got nothing but sawdust between your ears!" The highlight of this issue is something we thought would never see the light of day: an annotated excerpt of Michael Chabon's failed second novel, the experience of writing which formed a theme of what became his successfully completed second novel, Wonder Boys. Also on hand are a two-act play about a modern Muslim Pakistani American family by Wajahat Ali, the oral history of Ma Su Mon, a student protester in Burma, a 1961 abridgment of the 1914 adventure tale, Jungle Geronimo in Gay Paree by Jack Pendarvis, new stories and letters by John Brandon, Colm Toibin, Jesse Eisenberg, an excerpt of Adam Levine's massive 1000+ pages The Instructions, giving you the chance to sample it without any commitment, and plenty more besides, all packed inside a cube-head. What more do you want?
