McSweeney's (Futuristic) Antipodean Adventure!

The year is 2024. You’re dressed like it’s 1983, yet again. Literature now consists mainly of elaborate emoticons and aroma fiction, but McSweeney’s has just released their first issue in nine years, perhaps their finest since the legendary edible-novel experiment of 2013.

And those lovable literary blunderers have wrapped time and space around their grubby finger to bring this issue’s worldwide debut to Melbourne.

Featuring McSweeney’s own Eli Horowitz and authors Heidi Julavits and Wells Tower alongside the weirdly wonderful Suitcase Royale, the outlandish homemade sounds of the Bent Leather Band, the steampunkery of Mad Uncle Cliff, DJ Brendan Palmer and the sweet stylings of your MC Fiona Scott Norman.
