Are you subscribed to The New Yorker, one of the best literary magazines available...

The barebreasted poetess frolicking from stage left, mimicking birdsong as she streches into a fig tree is largely an act. She's painfully erudite in person, almost to the point of feeling compelled to bully her

the poetry they publish is unbelievably bad. I'm not that into contemporary poetry but I do see decent stuff occasionally. I almost feel like they're fucking with us with poems they select.

Daily reminder that Le Monde Diplomatique is the patrician's monthly newspaper: critical and cynical articles, book reviews by field and topic, survey of recent journal publications, independent artists as accompanying images, and transparent funding

I have subscriptions to the New Yorker, Paris Review, Oxford American, and American Affairs. Used to have a subscription to the Economist but I canceled it a year or so ago.

Honestly, most of these are pretty bleh and/or have gone downhill over the last few years.
The New Yorker is about as middle-brow as you can get and is consistent in that. It's not a great our challenging magazine, but it's fine for what it is I guess.

Paris Review occasionally has something good, but the only real reason to have a subscription these days is to have access to their catalog of author interviews which are all good.

Oxford American has been going down hill under its new editor, and honestly hasn't been really good since they kicked Marc Smirnoff out. I go back and forth on whether I should keep my subscription or not.

American Affairs has been a pleasant addition. Half of the articles are at least relatively interesting. If you go for these politics, you probably also want to give Claremont Review of Books a try as well, but all their stuff is online anyways.

The Economist is honestly lower-middle-brow super short articles written by anonymous authors who are actually usually just grad students. I used to enjoy their obituaries and sometimes their reviews, but take everything they print with a few grains of salt (honestly just take everything printed in any magazine with a few grains of salt).

The Atlantic has been a pretty shitty magazine for a while now, at least since they moved from New England to Washington and lost any identity they had besides being your standard moderate-left general interest magazine. It's basically TIME with longer articles these days.

Current Affairs is cool (socialist magazine but if u can handle jacobin CA is way more likable).

I used to read the economist as my capitalist liberal choice but these days i go with the financial times. way more straight to the point and when they do long takes on things they're both better written and less biased if its not an op-ed. Their recent stuff on Corbyn was tight.

gayest two sentences i've ever read right here

The Atlantic is based on the pacific coast yes user very smart

One other thing I will say for the New Yorker - while overall it's pretty average, Richard Brody is probably one of the nation's two or three best film critics.

And now I must bully you, user

If I hadn't have had it in my house all my childhood, I probably would have gotten a subscription at one point, in ignorance. But it's really just such a colossal rag. Everything from the op eds to the actual news to the comics and bad.

With the exception of the comic caption contest.

Are Brody's reviews and critiques featured in the weekly magazine? I know that you can see his articles online.

They're in the print edition occasionally; it seems like they alternate him and Anthony Lane (who is a shit critic). Brody's pieces are more regular online.

Oh hell no. This magazine is all about how the evil white man does this and that. A load of ignorant garbage.

Any one else read John O'Hara? He was published often in the New Yorker and Hemingway went on record endorsing him.

I like Lunch Poems and Meditations in an Emergency.

Carrying the tote is fine.
Subscribing to The New Yorker, alas, is gay.

If you are not gay, then carrying a tote is not gay. Simple as that.

If you carry a tote that is branded by a gay magazine, does the bag become gay

does the bag let other bags into it or does it hold stuff as a bag should?

A book, field notes, fountain pen, and water.

It's actually produced in Atlanta

Nah, I'm not some pozzed bugman consumerist.

New Yorker covers have gotten so fucking shit. 99% orange man bad. Used to just be comfy slice of life pictures of every day NYC situations.

You can download all of the Paris review interviews on b-ok for free bro

No.
I subscribe to Takimag and the Occidental observer.

hustler has some surprisingly good articles

A few years ago I was subscribed to the New Yorker , Atlantic, Harper’s and n+1 but gradually shed them all. A lot of their stuff is really quite irrelevant, bland ‘centrist’ takes and tedious , forgettable investigative articles. The New Yorker fiction is very unoriginal and middle brow, it exists to be skipped and quickly put aside.

These days I subscribe to Catalyst and American affairs, both are fairly good. Don’t really know much about literary magazines, there seems to be so many with most stuff their publish very similar and forgettable.

The New Yorker has great investigative journalism. Everything else is meh. Occasionally there’s a good short story, but the poetry is regularly meh. I actually love ed yong, the science writer for the Atlantic.

Nothing is based in Liverpool amerimutt. The Atlantic is from Boston.

This. I read The New Yorker for procrastination at work (so during 80% of my work time) but Brody's movie criticisms I read eagerly and with interest.

What are the two others you think are on his level?

What, out of curiosity, is the payment method of these magazines (on acceptance)? Do they just send straight cash in the mail?
