From Illustoria's parent publishers at McSweeney's For the eightieth totally radical issue of our National Magazine Award–winning quarterly, we’ve intercepted a distant satellite transmission blasting in from the future-past: a 1980s rainbow-hued, coral-reef-clad, dolphin-inhabited, drowned-world three-ring oversized-school-binder-inspired volume. An unhinged and unhingable maximalist wonder, McSweeney’s 80 will absolutely gag you with a spoon in awe and bodaciousness. Clipped into the metal three-rings of this issue are no less than seven (!) individual book art objects, including: a grid-ruled sketchbook by Eisner winner Adrian Tomine; a heart-stoppingly beautiful accordion-shaped catalog of twelve different flowers by Pulitzer Prize finalist Yiyun Li; a story in the form of an end-of-the-world Scantron questionnaire by Pip Adam; a crossword about being in (and out of) love by Chris Ames; a story by Guggenheim Fellow Lucy Corin in which the protagonist may, or may not, be able to eat their students!
