Blah. I like some of Dave Eggers' work that I've seen outside of the magazine, but that mock-Victorian lots-of-capitalized-words type-all-jammed-together schtick is so '99.
UnnecessaryZThe staff at McSweeney's are a bunch of assholes.
I've only had to deal with them once, and they were kind enough to fulfill a request of mine. Other than that, I don't have to deal with them when I read the quarterly, so that doesn't really affect my opinion of it.

I can only assume that you're referring to one of the issues I don't have (perhaps one from '99 ). I'm actually not a big fan of Eggers, but the quarterly has some good fiction and bizarre humor.
