The Believer

05.17.03 | Comment?

The design of last month’s issue (the first) was intriguing. The design of this month’s issue was irresistible. (Oddly enough, last month’s issue was the same design as this month’s issue.) No ads. Inside covers decorated with nothing but gold and light grey stripes. Each page framed by a pica or two of one of the cover’s six colors, rotating through them article by article. (Oddly enough, similar to MyIrony’s colors.) Portraits of Jack White and Judith Butler (et al.) by the love child of Roy Lichtenstein and the Wall Street Journal. Paper that you can’t keep from touching, and touching again. Conversations with Borders associate, who found last issue’s design intriguing, and wonders if this issue is irresistible.

Contents: the print equivalent of wood s lot, in long form, published monthly. The subscription: $65US for twelve issues a year. The website: still in development, but holding much promise. One promise in particular:

This page will regularly offer ideas for books or stories or works in other media, from those who can’t act upon them. All ideas are assumed original and are cost-free. Take what you want and do what you will. In all cases they are offered in the hopes that these worthy projects will find their way to someone with the time and wherewithal to pursue them.
