McSweeney's 29 by Hamish Hamilton
This issue of McSweeney's boasts as exciting an array of stories as only the world's best literary journal can offer. Featuring fourteen stories from writers like Yannick Murphy, Roddy Doyle and Joyce Carol Oates, McSweeney's 29 offers everything a good book should: there is jungle warfare, there are boomerang tycoons, there are track-team romances and advice-giving animals it might not have been wise to bring home. There is also art on every page and a finely die-cut cover, wrapped in several kinds of cloth, that will make other people want to grab this one right out of your hands, so watch out.Dave Eggers is the author of twelve books, including The Monk of Mokha; The Circle; Heroes of the Frontier; A Hologram for the King, a finalist for the National Book Award; and What Is the What, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and winner of France's Prix Medicis Etranger. He is the founder of McSweeney's and the cofounder of 826 Valencia, a youth writing center that has inspired similar programs around the world, and of ScholarMatch, which connects donors with students to make college accessible. He is the winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and is the cofounder of Voice of Witness, a book series that illuminates human rights crises through oral history. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letter. His work has been translated into forty- two languages.
