It embodies the | idea that keeping a library is to maintain the breadth and depth | of human knowledge as desired at a moment's notice. | reidacdc wrote: | These are interesting and fun. Each issue follows a particular | theme (youth, risk, energy, time, etc.) and I occasionally | wondered if they would run out, but they seemed to keep going. | Articles were an interesting mix of deep dives and short bits | that make you go "huh". | | Lewis Lapham also has a podcast, where he interviews authors of | books he's liked. | hotnfresh wrote: | I'm part of the problem.

I hope | they can turn things around soon - I'm a big fan. | jfengel wrote: | I'm not a fan but I'm really glad they exist. It's like just | off from something I really want, and it's clearly a good thing | for a market that isn't quite me (and where there aren't many | great alternatives). I hope they get their feet under them. | disposition2 wrote: | I subscribed a few years ago on a whim after seeing it advertised | in Harpers (which I still subscribe to and is one of the best | publications around IMHO). It honestly went over my head and I | didn't continue my subscription. | | Sad to hear this though, the quality (both in the editorials and | the actual paper / product) is head and shoulders above just | about any other publication I can recall. The paper quality | reminded me a lot of Next Generation [1] that I used to save my | pennies for back in the day. | | 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Generation_(magazine) | peruvian wrote: | I was wondering why I haven't gotten a new issue in a while. | | Lapham's health and age declining also doesn't help. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2023-11-04 23:00 UTC)
