Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, also known as McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, McSweeney's Quarterly, or simply McSweeney's, is a literary journal founded by Dave Eggers and first published in 1998. McSweeney's Quarterly was Eggers's second venture in magazine publishing, following the 1997 demise of the bimonthly Might Magazine, which he had co-founded with friends Marny Requa and Dave Moodie in 1993.[1] It was the first product of Eggers's McSweeney's imprint, which has since spawned a website (McSweeney's Internet Tendency), two more periodicals (The Believer and Wholphin, a "DVD magazine"), and a catalog of books. It was originally created by Eggers as a way to publish his own work, and pieces by his friends--including David Foster Wallace--that had been rejected by other journals.[2]
In Issue 10 it was claimed that exactly 56 issues of the journal would be published.[3] In Issue 20, this claim was repeated in an ad that stated, "There will be roughly thirty-six [issues] to come; then, a five-year retrenchment."[4]
