Issue 33 of McSweeney's Quarterly will be a one-time-only,
Sunday-edition-sized newspaper--the San Francisco Panorama.
It'll have news (actual news, tied to the day it comes out)
and sports and arts coverage, and comics(sixteen pages of
glorious, full-color comics, from Chris Ware and Dan Clowes
and Art Spiegelman and many others besides) and a magazine
and a weekend guide, and will basically be an attempt to
demonstrate all the great things print journalism can
(still) do, with as much first-rate writing and reportage
and design (and posters and games and on-location Antarctic
travelogues) as we can get in there. Expect journalism from
Andrew Sean Greer, fiction from George Saunders and Roddy
Doyle, dispatches from Afghanistan, and much, much more.
We're going to try to sell this thing on the street in San
Francisco, but it'll also go out to our subscribers and be
in bookstores all over.
