n+1 Issue 19: Real Estate Reviews

    I was a bit worried a year ago, when n+1 started to get repetitive. Too many translations of that same handful of authors, I guess.

    Anyways, issues 18 and 19 are back to form.

    Some surprising stuff in this one: an article on reverse engineering, and another on linguistics, were unexpected and made for a nice change. The Intellectual Situation and Politics sections were decent, with the former being about Putin and the latter being about neo-sincerity (shouldn't the contents have been swapped?).

    I quite enjoyed Two Scenes by Nell Zink, and the Reviews on Office Furniture and Net Neutrality. An enjoyable trend in the past few issues: Reviews are no longer limited to the work of a single artist or even to a collection of related works, and now can be a summary-and-response of ideas, trends, or even locations (in this issue, Morningside Park).

    I admit I skipped over rest of The Help Desk once I encountered the first Infinite Jest reference.
