I've heard good things about Paris Review.

>> No.3180780

New Yorker and Paris Review are musts when it comes to literature.

After that Atlantic and Harpers perhaps?

>> No.3180782

>>3180779

The interviews/blogs are good and available for free on their website.

>> No.3180783

Does anyone bother scanning The Paris Review and putting it up for download? Or do you have to subscribe to it?

Is the new yorker only good for the fiction? Are the articles decent?

>> No.3182239

>>3182232
They have some of the best investigative reporting left (not saying much, but still) every once in a while. I mainly read it for the articles, the fiction is just a bonus for me.

>> No.3182285

Recommend something that is not The Atlantic, Harper's, The Paris Review or The New Yorker

>> No.3182297

>>3182232
The articles are quite solid.

>> No.3182312

Could The New Yorker logo possibly be any more elitist?

This is true.

That isn't a logo, that's a magazine cover from 1925.

You do know what a magazine cover is, don't you?

It's significant because it was their first magazine ever.

>> No.3182349

>>3182346
You know it's also their logo, right?

Clearly not.

I see it on their website (which makes sense for heritage reasons) and this one magazine; haven't seen it anywhere else (in other magazines etc.)

Okay, one other place, but the point remains how is it bombastic?

Guy's a dandy. He was bombastic back then too.

The New Yorker is good for everything but fiction, in my opinion. Their profiles are top-notch, and as has been stated before, they've some of the best investigative journalism around.

The NYer fact-checks like a motherfucker, that's why DFW couldn't get published in it.

>> No.3182410

>>3182349
It's not a logo so much as a sort of mascot.

>> No.3182411

>>3182398
So you're saying the New Yorker is going to great pains to appear bombastic?

Glimmer Train?

>> No.3182424

>>3182410
In this case it's the same thing, since the mascot only exists as a logo. I wouldn't be surprised if it's trademarked or what have you.

>> No.3182427

>>3182408

The fiction is usually great in the new yorker

>> No.3182429

>>3182390
It's not just one other place. It's in multiple spots in every issue, on their yearly planner, on most New Yorker short story collections, all over their website, ect. It's their mascot.

Is there something wrong with elitism?

As far as I'm concerned there isn't enough of it nowadays. Before people had the aristocracy and the nobles to hate, now we have just vague notions of business CEOs to hate.
