A note for parents
This is a curated anthology of contemporary literary fiction by acclaimed adult authors, not a children's or young adult publication. McSweeney's anthologies typically contain sophisticated, adult-oriented short stories that may include mature themes, complex language, and content not suitable for young readers. Without access to the specific stories included in this 2024 edition, I cannot assess most content categories; a parent would need to preview individual stories or consult more detailed reviews.
