independent journals, the future of

[Peter K.]

[For all you lucky folks in New York City. What's Fence?
What's Open City?
Coincidently and trivially, about a month ago Suck.com ran
a letter of mine where I responded to a earlier letter by someone
who said he agreed with Eggers who in an interview with the
Village Voice had said that he could only read Suck once in
a while b/c it was like having someone yelling in your ear.
Tongue in cheek, in my letter I said if forced to choose I'd take Suck
over McSweeney's because Suck is free and I accused
McSweeny's of more or less copying The Baffler's old-timey
look. Suck on Eggers:
