Lots to love in the new @nplusonemag issue, including this show-stopping short story by the GOAT Elizabeth Schambelan. Really an all-timer, wish it was 600 pages long: https://t.co/yB5S1V8SU8

@hamrahrama @wtavlin This discussion was inspired by one of my favorite pieces in the history of the n+1 website. From 2007!

I don't know if you can picture the Lipton's tea box. Lipton is named for Sir Thomas J. Lipton, the founder of the company, who was a yachtsman and a symbol of the British Empire. There's a tiny...

My survey of a bunch of new novels about TV (and “literary fiction”’s growing financial reliance on adaptation) is unpaywalled. With appearances by Justin Taylor, Danzy Senna, Taffy B-A, some grouchy anti–boob tube quotes from Vineland, others. In newest issue of @nplusonemag!
“These are texts in which the publishing and entertainment industries jockey for cultural dominance, in which TV is examined from within a form it’s assaulted.” Now out from behind the paywall: n+1 coeditor @lisa_borst on recent fiction about television. https://t.co/9TkA2m6FLF

“Rhetorically, this was among the less-remarked gifts of this campaign: to see and speak to working people in both the bonds of universality and with the dignity of specificity.”
Wrote a few words about our man, his campaign, and what comes next, for @nplusonemag.

Maybe it’s the case that younger readers — always a sizeable faction of n+1’s audience — associate email with school or work, and don’t think to sit down and compose, for fun, corrections or admoni...
