The new n + 1 is out. A twice-yearly print journal of politics, literature, and culture, this issue has:
“We have a masterly novella by Caleb Crain; we have a history of the cubicle, that wretched device, born, it turns out, in the revolutionary maelstrom of 1968; poems by our favorite Russian poet, Kirill Medvedev; pieces on the new ideology of indie bookselling; post-apocalyptic novels; and five years of Gawker.com. There is a symposium on the left-wing “politics of fear.” And finally, the centerpiece of the issue, a very powerful essay on Seung-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter, by Wesley Yang.”
