After over a year (two years?) of angrily perusing Harper’s, I’ve decided to cancel my subscription of many, many years. Since Lapham left, it’s become terrible. Ideological without wit, a poor sense of what fiction is… even the book reviews are disappointing in that they’ve become too accessible. I’ve decided to reallocate my reading time to Lapham’s Quarterly, which is a godsend. Really, it is amazing. A boon to the world, and a friendly door to the great writings of the past.
Anyway, I went to the website to enter my request to cancel and noticed this graphic on the side:
And then I thought, I wonder where this comes from. Dumping into Google Images, I found it here:
An Exaltation of Larks, or The Venereal Game,by James Lipton
And Amazon has it.
If you don’t know about dragging images into Google, you should get to know it. Powerful and fun stuff.
