n+1 Magazine

The print journal of n+1 comes out twice-yearly, usually the size of a medium-length novel (200+ pages), with a mix of criticism, memoir, fiction, reviews, and political essays. Each issue is prefaced with an unsigned diary, “The Intellectual Situation,” which registers and analyzes the wider movements of culture and thought.
