Brooklyn Book Festival OnePage
Week of 30-Mar-2012
McSweeney’s is a publishing company based in San Francisco. Since its beginnings in 1998 as a literary journal publishing primarily works rejected by other magazines, our operational capacity has exponentially increased to include a daily humor website, the eponymous and constantly-redesigned quarterly, the Believer, Lucky Peach, Wholphin, Grantland Quarterly and an ever-growing selection of books under various imprints. We’ve published some of the country’s finest writers—Denis Johnson, William T. Vollmann, Rick Moody, Joyce Carol Oates, Diane Williams, Jonathan Lethem, Michael Chabon, Ben Marcus, Susan Straight (and more!), ushering in multiple literary and design awards, and appearing on New York Times notable and bestseller lists.
This year, we’re continuing to traverse the expansive literary universe, reprinting a cookbook written by the great-grandmother of Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love 2006) to publishing John Brandon’s third novel, recognizing the human rights crises in Columbia through oral histories—and we’re introducing our latest venture, the McSweeney’s Poetry Imprint. Thus, we’ve got our hands full of basketball-wrapped sports quarterlies and corn-cookie recipes, love poems and a lot more.
