McSweeney’s Quarterly Issue 80 Signing

12/09/2025 @ 5:30 pm

For its 80th issue, the National Magazine Award–winning quarterly McSweeney’s presents a three-ring oversized-school-binder-inspired volume. Clipped into the rings are seven individual book art objects, including: a grid-ruled sketchbook by Eisner winner Adrian Tomine; an accordion-shaped catalog of 12 flowers by Pulitzer Prize finalist Yiyun Li; a story in the form of an end-of-the-world Scantron questionnaire by Pip Adam; a crossword about being in (and out of) love by Chris Ames; a story by Guggenheim Fellow Lucy Corin in which the protagonist may, or may not, be able to eat their students; and a story by Brittany Newell in which the protagonist may, or may not, be in love with their dubiously credentialed couples therapist. Plus an excerpt from Kevin Moffett’s National Book Award–longlisted debut novel; the 2025 Stephen Dixon Award–winning story “My Son’s Name Is Not Cassava” by Akhim Alexis; a letter by PEN Translation Prize winner Katrina Dodson circling the unexpected twinned linguistic heritage of Portuguese and Vietnamese; and more letters by Anelise Chen, Steven Dunn, and Molly McGhee.
