About This Item
San Francisco, California, U.S.A.: McSweeneys Books, 2007. First Edition. Hard Cover -. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7 3/4" - 9 3/4" Tall. In colorful jacket, 8vo, 181pp+chapbook tipped-into rear board. McSweeney's Issue 23 includes ten stories from ten excellent writers, including Wells Tower, Chris Bachelder, Ann Beattie, and other agile talents bringing visions of the Dallas/Fort Worth fake-watch trade and Papua New Guinea in the 1960s. Every story gets its own front and back cover drawn, collaged, or embroidered by the polymathic Andrea Dezsö. The whole thing is wrapped in a jacket that unfolds into five square feet of double-sided glory spread it out one way for dozens of very short stories by Dave Eggers, arranged in what we're pretty sure is a volvelle; flip it over and witness all those Dezsö illustrations stitched into one unbroken expanse.
