I tend to devour McSweeney’s like popcorn, so it means a lot when issue really stands out. The curation of stories in #53 is just fantastic. Of special note are C Pam Zhang, whose debut novel is forthcoming, and Lesley Nneka Arimah. Text aside, the packaging is just so fun (short stories or Ted on balloons that you blow up and read-really!) and reminds me of the playfulness that got me into McSweeney’s nearly 10 years ago. Good job!
