n+1 Issue 33: Overtime Reviews
-
Picked this up at the launch party at the beginning of February.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect since this was the first issue I've read but it was pretty dang good.
I particularly enjoyed the essays Conversations with Bongjun, Homeschool, and What Good is Love.
Conversations with Bongjun opened my eyes to the different views can have of North and South Korea. Particularly, it was very interesting to learn that some people see it as they don't hate each other but rather have a kind of sibling rivalry where they fight a lot but still care about each other. -
The political elements here are strongest - the editorial on the Climate Change Era, Richard Beck on the Korean Peace Process, Elizabeth Schambelan's Everybody Knows, Christina Nichol's Conversations with Bongjun, Lyle Jeremy Rubin's Base Culture, and of course, George Blaustein's fantastic piece on John McCain, My Fellow Prisoners. The sharp-tongued wit of Hamrah's film reviews is, as always, a given. At its weakest, neither of the pieces of fiction in this issue drew me in, and Pankaj Ishra & Nikil Saval's epistolary essay on an Indian novelist felt like a slog.
