Info autore
McSweeney's Quarterly Concern began in 1998 as a literary journal that published only works rejected by other magazines. That rule was soon abandoned, and since then McSweeney's has attracted some of the finest writers in the world, from
George Saunders and
Lydia Davis, to
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and
David Foster Wallace. Recent issues have featured work by
Tommy Orange,
Hanif Abdurraqib,
Lisa Taddeo,
Mimi Lok, and
Lesley Nneka Arimah. At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; we're committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree.
