Author Notes
McSweeney's Issue 48
Dave Eggers lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. McSweeney's began in 1998 as a literary journal that published only works rejected by other magazines. That rule was soon abandoned, and since then McSweeney's has attracted work from some of the finest writers in the country, including Denis Johnson, Jonathan Franzen, William T. Vollmann, Rick Moody, Joyce Carol Oates, Heidi Julavits, Jonathan Lethem, Michael Chabon, Ben Marcus, Susan Straight, Roddy Doyle, T. C. Boyle, Steven Millhauser, Gabe Hudson, Robert Coover, Ann Beattie, and many others. At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; we're committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree. Boots Riley lives in Oakland, California. He is the frontman and songwriter for The Coup. Right-wing columnist and Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin once called his work "A stomach-turning example of anti-Americanism disguised as high-brow intellectualism." Boots was surprised and elated by the compliment.
