At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; we're committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"McSweeney's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057876005138,"sku":"9781952119811","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_952d3dbb-d84c-46ee-8098-b35ea10bad5d.jpg?v=1772013437","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mcsweeneys-issue-72-mcsweeneys-quarterly-concern-9781952119811","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
