McSweeney's Issue 24 (McSweeney's Quarterly Concern)

A double-sided issue. Side #1 features short fiction works by Christopher R. Howard, Joe Meno, Jonathan Ames, Aaron Gwyn, Philippe Soupault (a bonafide French surrealist), and Eric Hanson. Side #2 features 'Come Back, Donald Barthelme:A Symposium,' with several contributors, and includes two of Barthelme's uncollected stories out of print for more than three decades, reproduced here for the first time: 'The Bed,' and 'Pages From The Annual Report.' And, there's more! A preview of McSweeney's latest book publishing venture, a tipped-in insert pamphlet excerpt from Millard Kaufman's 'Bowl of Cherries.' 300 clean, unmarked pages
