McSweeney's Out $130,000

Can you spot Dave $130,000?

Critically-acclaimed books about child soldiers aside, it’s a bad time to be Dave Eggers.

McSweeney’s, Eggers’ acclaimed quarterly, just announced that they have lost $130,000 since their distributor, Publishers Group West, filed for bankruptcy this past December. The publisher (McSweeney’s, The Believer) is in a tight spot and is currently selling their backlist for 50% off and auctioning off rare items (including a Dave Eggers portrait of George W. Bush as a double amputee) on eBay.
