McSweeney's Issue 50

To celebrate our 50th issue, we've put together one of our very best collections, with stories, essays, treatises, manifestos, letters, comics, and illustrated travel diaries from 50 different contributors. There's stunning new work from writers who we've long published - Jonathan Lethem, Lydia Davis, Sherman Alexie, Etgar Keret, Sheila Heti, Diane Williams, Sarah Vowell, John Hodgman, Steven Millhauser (among many others) - and fantastic new writing from authors who we've long admired, including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Thomas McGuane, Kevin Young, and Carrie Brownstein. The physical object that will contain all this great work will be a sturdy and beautiful hardcover book . . . something to behold and something to keep.This issue's full contributor list:Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieJonathan LethemLydia DavisHeidi JulavitsKevin YoungIsmet PrcicSheila HetiSherman AlexieCarrie BrownsteinSean WilseyPatton OswaltValeria LuiselliRebecca CurtisThomas McGuaneSarah VowellJohn MoeSteven MillhauserJason PolanTucker NicholsEduardo BertiJohn HodgmanAparna NancherlaDiane WilliamsEtgar KeretCorinna VallianatosSarah MangusoJeff ParkerKevin MoffettJesse BallBrian EvensonLilli CarreCarson MellKristen IskandrianLucy Corin Zain KhalidDan MoreyEli HorowitzBianca BagnarelliAndrew LelandHaris DurraniVauhini VaraBenjamin PercyWendy MolyneuxSarah WalkerDan KennedyJames H.
