Description

"Intelligent and accessible . . . A hip, urban aesthetic." -Poets Writers A special issue of Open City featuring writing and artwork by an exciting array of alternative rock stars. A literary magazine of fiction, essays, and poetry, Open City has a youthful, adventurous spirit and an uncanny knack for finding vibrant and original voices. Each issue offers something entirely new by an unexpected mix of talents. Open City is the first literary magazine to foster the tradition of presenting writing and artwork by popular musicians. Contributors include indie greats Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), David Berman (Silver Jews), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Chan Marshall (Cat Power), Stuart David (Belle & Sebastian), Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500 and Luna), and many others.

Reviews

"A heady mix of narrative styles and storytelling . . . The brightest names in young international fiction, poetry, and essay writing." "I buy every issue of Open City. I can't say that about any other literary publication. Like many of its contemporaries, the magazine offers a mix of traditional and experimental offerings, but here the blend actually works, managing to be lively and harmonious at once." "Intelligent and accessible ... A hip, urban aesthetic." "Open City takes the old literary magazine format and revitalizes it for a new generation's tastes."
