McSweeney's Issue 65: PLUNDERED, December 2021. 238pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "McSWEENEY'S 65: PLUNDERED spans the American continent, from a bone-strewn Peruvian desert to inland South Texas to the streets of Mexico City, and considers the violence that shaped it. In fifteen bracing stories, the collection delves into extraction, exploitation, and defiance. How does a community, an individual, resist the plundering of land and peoples? [] Guest-edited by Valeria Luiselli with Heather Cleary, Issue 65 brings together stories of stolen artifacts and endless job searches, of nationality-themed amusement parks and cultish banana plantations. With contributors from Brazil, Cuba, Bolivia, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, the United States, and elsewhere, PLUNDERED is a sweeping portrait of a hemisphere on fire." [publisher copy] Among authors featured: Karen Tei Yamashita, Samanta Schweblin, Carlos Manuel Alvarez, w/translations by Heather Cleary, Megan McDowell, Julia Sanches, illustrations by Rachel Levit Ruiz, dozens more contributors. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a sharp-as-new half-jacket, all quite presentable.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. September 2021 issue. Bright, clean & tight edition in NEW condition (boxed & still in shrink-wrap). "A sprawling experiment in audiovisual storytelling coproduced by Radiotopia, MCSWEENEY'S 64: THE AUDIO ISSUE is a mind-bending synthesis of audio, writing, art, and design, with contributions from Rion Amilcar Scott, Aimee Bender, John Lee Clark, Sharon Mashihi, Sean Cole, Aliya Pabani, Jason Reynolds, Catherine Lacey, and dozens more." [removable sticker copy] "Combining art, fiction, audio, and a slew of unclassifiable print objects in a custom box, MCSWEENEY'S 64 is a riotous exploration of audiovisual storytelling, coproduced with Radiotopia from PRX (home to genius, independent audio creators including Song Exploder, Criminal, Ear Hustle, and more). Each piece in the issue establishes its own relationship between audio and print--the contributor's unique experiment in weaving the mediums. [] Included are Rion Amilcar Scott with a short fiction piece featuring two alternative audio endings; Pulitzer Prize-nominated composer Kate Soper with a transhumanist, interactive software upload; DeafBlind poet John Lee Clark on the limits of accessibility; Claudia Dey, Renee Gladman, and more taking us on audio tours of our own homes; Aliya Pabani with a radio drama whose plot is complicated by a 24" x 30" illustrated poster; Ian Chillag with an absurdist, interactive phone tree; James T. Green, Catherine Lacey, and This American Life's Sean Cole with voicemail dispatches to the editor; National Book Award-finalist Kali Fajardo-Anstine, Aimee Bender, and Kelli Jo Ford with short stories that braid in audio; and so much more."
