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.

If you don’t know about dragging images into Google, you should get to know it. Powerful and fun stuff.
