January Literary Section and Friends, some old some new

We still have copies of And Memoir.  Bookmarks, Poets & Writers, Granta, African Voices, The Baffler, and Zoetrope Allstory are magazines you may have browsed or bought before.  We have a new issue of Creative Nonfiction,  and Boston Review has a new look.

So many of the new magazines come in and are a puzzle,  is it fashion?  Photography?  Pop culture?  Own is definitely men's fashion, Image is definitely photography (I am a sucker for those small format magazines), Vizor ended up in photography (although mostly pictures of women in clothes, it seemed more about the visuals than about clothes (but one could argue that about a significant amount of fashion photography)), Twin which seems a little more about the clothes is waiting hopefully for you with the other new arrivals at the front counter, and the Filament... is a little edgy and is in the catch all section of Pop Culture, somewhere near Gothic Beauty.
 

McSweeney's Brain Box (#36)

McSweeney's Brain is here, otherwise known as McSweeney's #36.  They have an awesome picture on their website, opened up and displayed invitingly at an urban curb.  You can just come in and check out our open copy.

E.B. came in to pick up a newspaper, and thought that the box itself rather ugly, although admitting that the contents were cool.  Barista Dan, however, thought that the box was awesome, and would happily take the box if you just want the contents.  CR called it Groovy.

We still have two McSweeney's #35, but not for much longer.

The new Believer (Greil Marcus, Nick Hornby, Guy Maddin) is in, and we have a nice stack of Wholphin as well.

Wholphin and a Few Others

 

Wholphin #12 came in, new to us from McSweeney's, a dvd magazine of rare and unseen short films.

The new Lapham's Quarterly, this time on Celebrity, ranging through the continents, the ages, and the various literary voices.

Women's Review of Books on Jane Austen, the Holiday issue of the New York Review of Books, the Three Penny Review on assorted topics,  Modern Age, and Alimentum on food.




 Rolling Stone came in, with their take on John Lennon.

New & Fun This Week: Black Swan drama, (and) Memoir

Black Swan (Natalie Portman) covers on Fangoria and American Cinematographer.  Movie Maker also gives Black Swan prominent coverage.  For  those tired of The Nutcracker, will it be as resonant as The Red Shoes?

New title, Memoir (and), publishing Prose, Poetry,Essays, Graphics, Lies, (and) more ...  The cover is haunting, the writing on the web site promising.

A few new titles this week (Trains, French, Fashion, Music)

Five new titles that you can check out with the other new arrivals next to the cash register.

Trains4Kids (a Trains magazine special)

Maniere de Voir (Jan/Dec)  French language bimonthly.  This issue focuses on urbanization (l'urbanisation du monde).

Tranoi #7 a fashion design alternative magazine.  This issue features a Japanese style book binding and 3-d glasses.

Big Cheese  from the UK.  We've had it before, but it disappeared from our shelves for a couple of years.  We have tracked it down again.  And no, it is not about cooking, but about music.

Oh Comely describes itself as "a magazine about people and their quirks and their creativity, rather than money and what it can buy."

Purple Fashion #14
