TIMOTHY MCSWEENEY’S QUARTERLY CONCERN:
A Collector’s Checklist
Most magazines are instantly recognizable by their design. It stays the same, issue after issue. Not Dave Eggers’ Timothy McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern. Eggers and his staff redesign it after each issue. Most publishers would find that a nightmare. Not Eggers. For him, it’s fun.
George Saunders:
Stories from Life, Death and the Bardo
After Saunders graduated from college with a degree in mining engineering he found it was not the career for him. He enrolled in the graduate writing program at Syracuse University and soon emerged as a prodigious talent, with stories published in The New Yorker and Timothy McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, among others. His breakthrough novel dealt with Abraham Lincoln in a unique way.
