Subscription-based multimedia app. Sign up now to receive this week’s content: a two-parter featuring Jessica Anthony reading her short story "The Death of Mustango Salvaje", as well as an excerpt from her novel "The Convalescent". Previous weeks have seen appearances by Jonathan Ames, Spike Jonze, Maurice Sendak, and a spatular; Chris Ware and bad wizards will be following soon after.
McSweeney’s is an independent publishing house based in San Francisco. Our converted laundromat is home to the Quarterly (mostly short fiction), the Believer (monthly interviews, reviews, columns, and essays), Wholphin (DVD quarterly of short films by Miranda July, Spike Jonze, Alexander Payne, and others), and books by authors including Nick Hornby, William Vollmann, and Michael Chabon.
You can now enjoy all this on trains, during lunch, and through all the other empty gaps in a day — moments of solitude, moments of togetherness, moments of intolerable boredom — via our newest tendril: the Small Chair, a multimedia weekly selection from all branches of the McSweeney’s family. One week we might send a story from the upcoming Quarterly, the next week an interview from the Believer, the next a short film from a future Wholphin. Occasionally, it might be a song, an art portfolio, who knows. This week we're featuring a two-parter: Jessica Anthony reading her short story "The Death of Mustango Salvaje", followed by an excerpt from her novel "The Convalescent". Previous weeks have seen appearances by Jonathan Ames, Spike Jonze, and Maurice Sendak; Chris Ware and bad wizards will be following soon after. None of this material will be available online and it's all pretty sure to be good stuff.
You will receive a Push Notification when new content is ready, and you can extend your subscription at any time with In App Purchase features. The app will also give you the daily humor from our Internet Tendency (www.mcsweeneys.net), specially formatted for the iPhone, along with news, updates, and announcements. This feature will remain active and free, even if your Small Chair subscription expires.
Your app purchase includes the first six months of weekly excitement -- a half-year of surprises, all delivered straight to your pocket.
