McSweeney's Quarterly Concern #13
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is the thirteenth issue of Dave Eggers' acclaimed literary quarterly, McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, published in 2004. Unlike typical comic collections, this volume is a unique hybrid, featuring a mix of fiction, nonfiction, and comics, including a notable section of original comic strips by various artists. It stands out for its unconventional format and content, reflecting the experimental spirit of the series.
In "null," Isabel, suddenly and inexplicably grown twenty feet tall, is unable to leave her house for a book reading—so she gives it from home, her towering presence altering the intimacy of the event. As she reads, the quiet moment takes an unexpected turn when she reveals a long-held secret about Hopey and the fire at Ray's Liquor Store.
In "null," Julio is left stranded on a forked tree branch after being bullied by two boys, his isolation both physical and emotional. When Sofia finds him, their quiet journey home unfolds under the weight of a shared, unspoken tension, leading to a moment of harsh consequence when they’re both punished for being late.
