Dear Online Readers,
We’re pleased to announce that after months of being sold out, our small book What Was the Hipster? is back at the office and ready to ship. The third, most notorious entry in our small book series, What Was the Hipster? investigates the rise and fall of the contemporary hipster and includes essays and responses by editor Mark Greif, Jennifer Baumgardner, Margo Jefferson, and Jace Clayton (aka DJ/rupture) on subjects from hip-hop to party photography to gentrification.
Order a copy with a subscription today, just in time for Issue 12, coming in August with an excerpt from Helen DeWitt’s new novel, the definitive history of Pitchfork, and Kristin Dombek (author of Issue 10’s “The Two Cultures of Life”) on the musical The Book of Mormon. Plus Mark Greif on Stanley Cavell, Carla Blumenkranz on Gordon Lish, and new fiction, poetry, and reviews.
More soon,
The Editors
It’s Back, Plus Issue 12 Preview
