Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Believer Magazine (65)
The Believer monthly books and culture magazine is three-time finalist for National Magazine Awards in General Excellence and Design. An amiable yet rigorous forum for books and book criticism,The Believer provides an alternative to the plot summary that has increasingly become synonymous with "book review," extending the ever-shortening shelf life of new books, reviving interest in books long overlooked, and stressing the interconnectivity of books to pop culture, politics, art, and music. To that end, each issue includes essays on these topics, as well as lengthy interviews with philosophers, politicians, and poets. Nick Hornby has a widely celebrated monthly books column, and Amy Sedaris (and well-known guest-columnists) offers an advice column comprised of hilariously bad advice. The celebrated graphic novelist Charles Burns illustrates the cover each month, and the magazine is littered with illustrations by a wide range of established and emerging artists, with regulars like Tony Millionaire, Marcel Dzama, and others.

My Father’s Murder - Relationship and personal issues for a father and son.
Dark Family - An odd topic for an article. Not what I expected it.
Childeish Ideas - Interesting and informative. I enjoyed learning where these terms came from.
Carving the Whale - Most interesting piece and idea: that what is left out of an abridgment can say much about the novel itself.
Sedaratives - Beatts answers are slightly witty and slightly useful.
Real Life Rock Top Ten - Again, I think one needs to have a frame of reference for the people and items discussed in these to get much out of them.
Rebecca Solnit - Talks about writing without a genre, being a writer without a form, and stuff about the environment.
The Deathbed Version: A new poem - Okay, disjointed but meant to be that way.
Schema: A Classification of Shaggy-Dog Jokes - Someone wrote a book about this in the 1960s.
One-Page Book Reviews: I Am Not Sidney Poitier, King Driftwood, Amigoland, The Discoverer, Aracoeli - mildly interested, not interested (not a poetry fan), somewhat interested, more interested, more interested.
Creative Accounting: Commissioned Play - It seems like it would have been quite a bit less expensive if it had not involved researching in the community, but I'm not surprised at the cost.
Philip Zimbardo - A most interested interview. I remember watching the film mentioned in it in a college-credit psych class I took my junior year in high school.
Musin’s and Thinkin’s - Not really about clouds.
Nick Cave - Somewhat interesting. I didn't know who he was and he seemed a bit out of it.
Brad Neely - Questions about the Civil War. Quirkly answered. ( )
