I adore magazines I regret so much getting rid of all my old mizz & J17 when my dad moved house and could no longer store them for me. I now have piles of vogues all around my home and still try and consume as many UK magazines as I can physically. There’s nothing like turning the corners on the page I want to reread and ripping out the pages of things I want to buy. That said i look forward to reading all the above online - what a treat of a selection ❤️
Recovering magazine addict from the 90’s that I am, I loved waking up to this list of decadent good writing. Read Jesse’s piece when it was published in the NYT, and it was dark, sobering and beautiful then… thanks for inspiration this morning.
It’s like you tuned directly into my brain! I was just thinking about long reads, to the point that I used my work’s Bluesky to put the feelers out on suggestions – mere hours before this was posted! https://bsky.app/profile/mslexia.bsky.social/post/3lmrk5cojz22w (I work for a women’s writing magazine so was hoping our audience would have some good recs!)
Thank you Lena!! I , too, a magazine baby and eventually got to work at US Weekly with the goal of sneaking across the aisle to Rolling Stone. Anyway thank you for this amazing stack-/ you do (and quite always have) made me feel less alone! (Ps. See my latest in LA Times? LA Affairs. Now THAT would be a dream 🫶🏼
I’m also a magazine girly who mourns the loss of the heyday of glossies— I was thrilled to see this stack in my inbox this morning! I was just thinking about that piece on Jaime King by Jennifer Egan the other day. God, I miss the 90s so much. I can’t wait to read Graydon’s book. Thanks for this!

I’ve now finished all these and want to add an extra thanks for all the delicious words - what a wonderful selection 🫶🏻

Great list. I have not seen the name "Rene Chun" in decades!

George! That is a blast from the past
This is exactly what I need this week! Excellent, thank you.
This is a treasure. I will be reading any and most of your suggestions.
