The Believer #96
Believer, Issue 96
The Believer is a monthly magazine where length is no object. It features long articles, interviews, and book reviews, as well as poems, comics, and a two-page vertically-oriented Schema spread, more or less unreproduceable on the web. The common thread in all these facets is that The Believer gives people and books the benefit of the doubt (the working title of this magazine was The Optimist).
On each issue, Charles Burns's beautiful illustrations adorn the cover; our regular raft of writers, artists, and photographers fill the pages; and the feel of the Westcan Printing Group’s gorgeous “Roland Enviro 100 Natural” recycled acid-free heavy stock paper warms your heart.

Solid issue with more reminders that there are some books that I need to finally pick up. (e.g. I still haven't read anything by Jeffrey Eugenides. Yeah, I know I need to pick up at least one of his books.)
My three favorite things:
--interview with Allyson Strafella - artist who draws using an electric typewriter
--short review reminding me how difficult it was to push through the brutal chapters in Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho
--tie between the rest of the interviews, Amber Scorah's essay, and the Schema.

The February 2013 issue of "The Believer" has some intriguing essays on the Tibetan diaspora, Hitler's obsession with myth-based cinema, and the story of a young Jehovah's Witness missionary who finally felt free to question her faith in China. There were also the usual in depth interviews with authors and artists that I always find so inspiring and engaging. Great issue.
