Böcker i Believer-serien

The Believer, a five-time National Magazine Award finalist, is a bimonthly literature, arts, and culture magazine based in Las Vegas, Nevada. In each issue, readers will find journalism, essays, intimate interviews, an expansive comics section, poetry, and on occasion, delightful and unexpected bonus items. Our poetry section is curated by Jericho Brown, Kristen Radtke selects our comics, and Joshua Wolf Shenk is our editor-in-chief. All issues feature a regular column by Nick Hornby and a symposium, in which several writers expound on a theme of contemporary interest.

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.

Named the best magazine of 2022 by Alta. Inside issue 141 of The Believer A mystery of literary lineage involving Muriel Rukeyser and Robinson Jeffers; an extensive, reported feature from Dave Eggers on his trip to Ukraine; Andrea Bajani on the rarely discussed, highly stigmatized experience that touches almost every writer's career; new poems from Jenny Xie, Aria Aber and Emily Jungmin Yoon; new comics by Gabrielle Bell and Noah Van Sciver; plus interviews with Michael Imperioli, Eula Biss, Dale Dickey, and legendary hypeman Flavor Flav. Not to mention Nick Hornby on what he's been reading; Carrie Brownstein answering your most challenging requests for advice; Brandon Hobson on Ishtar. Plus one-page reviews on small-press books, odd literary games--and still, somehow more!

In issue 142 of The Believer, Amy Fusselman trawls the streets of New York for "everyday weirdos" with filmmaker John Wilson; Joshua Hunt treks to the peak of Japan's "Mount Fear," rumored portal to the underworld; and Ted McDermott meets a scientist who claims he doesn't have a brain. There are also new interviews with Jim Jarmusch, Julie Otsuka, Gail Scott, and William Kentridge, as well as a comic by Chris Oliveros on the Front de libération du Québec. Plus, Patrick Martinez talks us through his process, and John Wray gives his perspective on a "love-it-or-loathe-it" documentary. Not to mention columns from our trusted experts Nick Hornby and Carrie Brownstein, book reviews, author trivia from Roxane Gay, a deep dive into the glorious world of unauthorized movie remakes, and more inside these freshly pressed pages waiting patiently for your reading pleasure.
