The Baffler 58, July 2021. John Simley, America, Ex Post Facto.

[Mark Thibodeau]

I second your recommendation for The Baffler, which I've been reading since
issue 5 or 6 iirc. Remember the huge fire their warehouse suffered early
on? I'm sure that's part of the reasoning behind their enthusiastic embrace
of the digital medium. But I do love my little collection of digest sized
square bound mags! Especially the earliest iterations, where it was smaller
and fit just so in one's hands.
