Review
"McSweeney's 13, a humane and passionate gathering of the medium's contemporary best, also casts an exacting and unblinking eye on its past." Dan Nadel, The Washington Post Book World
Review
"[G]oes far beyond anything McSweeney's has ever done....Inside is a feast of work: beautifully wrought pages....In a hostile, uncaring world filled with senseless wrongs, McSweeney's No. 13 provides a moment of exquisite, gorgeous revenge." Michael Bierut, Design Observer
