I had a subscription to The Paris Review for a long time if that counts. The craft interviews are great.
>>25619509No, as they're too expensive for what they offer and have too colourful, smooth and slippery pages.
>>25619509Why should I read journalism that doesn’t even claim to be impartial? In the age of clanker? Paid too? With ads?
>>25619509Just the LRB.
>>25619645complete and utter retard
>>25619934I wonder what fresh perspective the marvelous genius behind this uncapitalized post can give me.
>>25619944You believe in the desirability, much less the possibility, of impartial media? Even if you did, literary magazines are only very tenuously journalism; hence you have in mind mass media (=retard). And what's more, you want essayists, already horribly underpaid, to write for free. Retard.
>>25619973I want worthwhile stuff as as return for my time and money, not lefty virtue signalling forced slop
>>25619973>You believe in the desirability, much less the possibility, of impartial mediaWrong, I don't believe in modern media made to be digested weekly or monthly, period.Why? Seems like you explained it to yourself friend.>complete and utter retard>=retard>RetardWow.. you really seem to be offended by this.. I hope you're not writing for some magazine nobody cares about.
>>25619509I read old horror and SciFi magazines
>>25619976Have you actually read any literary magazines?>>25619977Difficult to take seriously. By far and away the history of our culture has persisted on ritualised readings of, often shorter-than-book-length, texts. And what is your reason for disliking "modern" periodicals? That they ought, by their own standards, to be impartial, but are not? These are not their own standards. (Except only for mass media, which is terrible.)>why mad bro?
>>25619984>why mad bro?Why are you so aggressive in every post you type?
>>25619989Once upon a time eviscerating normies was an uncontroversial pastime of this board, nay website.
>magazinesMostly a waste of time. Maybe on the shitter.
>>25619509Harper’sThe New YorkerLondon Review of BooksI get all in print, and don’t get to all in each issue.
>>25619627Wow this fucking sucks.
>>25620041"Hey, The New Yorker is going to publish one of my poems!""Oh cool, it's not the one about wedding receptions is it?""Why?"
>>25620048More like The Jew Jerker.
I like Granta but don't subscribe at the moment, just grab a copy when it strikes me but they only publish quarterly.debated LRB/Paris review but never signed up. worried some of these magazines will be very (((bias)))
>>25620173Can read the LRB for free via incognito, but it's inexpensive, so just pay.
Magazines are a waste of time. I just ask the bot what happened at the end of the month.
>>25619532The Atlantic can be good when the libbing out is kept to a minimum.
>>25622528I saw this response, back in June, and spent a couple days reading through the recommendations. Nearly all of them are fem/fag fic slop factories. Utter trash. Anon should be ashamed of himself.
>>25619509I always laugh at what used to be magazine stands, now standing empty or half full and that's after they've removed most of them. They were already just 90% advertisements 20 years ago. The covers these days are full of CGPT generated images and presumably 'articles' as well.
>>25619509It's a torah to blogging's gospel
"Literary magazines" (sic) are products for people who want to feel "cultured" but won't put the effort of actually slogging through information-dense books or learning about the intellectual disciplines that constitute culture (history, philosophy, arts...). Classic market trick, they don't sell you a product, they sell you social signifiers. The content of a magazine might as well be the word "nigger" repeated every page
>>25624373"History, philosophy, arts" books are products for people who want to feel "intelligent" but won't put the effort of actually slogging through a variety of authors or learning about the literary disciplines that constitute culture (short stories, poetry, flash fiction...). Classic market trick, they don't sell you a product, they sell you social signifiers. The content of a book might as well be the word "pleb" repeated every page
>>25619509Where's the litmagfag anons? There's at least two of them who will sometimes post about literary magazines and contemporary literature
