McSweeney's 62: The Queer Fiction Issue, collects absurd, bold, bleak, humorous, and astonishing works of fiction and art by queer writers of all orientations. Inside this luxurious hardcover, youll find stories about storm chasers and Colombian supermodels, about talking plants and DIY bands and camboys and encounters with the dead. Contributors include Bryan Washington, Eileen Myles, Kristen Arnett, Sarah Gerard, Juli Delgado Lopera, Gabby Bellot, Dennis Norris II, Emma Copley Eisenberg, K-Ming Chang, and many more. Guest-edited by Patty Yumi Cottrell, and filled to a surfeit with letters, stories, and dazzling full-color comics and art, youll be jealously hoarding this collection for decades to come. A key barometer of the literary climate. The New York Times McSweeneys is so much more than a magazine; its a vital part of our culture.
