What's really interesting is this is probably one of the top ten literary magazines on the planet in terms of people actually reading and discussing the works. I read a few others that are big names recently and there's no Internet discussion whatsoever. Probably I'm the only one outside of the editorial staff that read through them, and only to try to critique the writing as a learning exercise. Nothing in there was written so anyone would enjoy reading it. They're just checking a box for academic prestige purposes. Lit Quarterly is more like the underground magazines of the 70's - a community writing to its own members. Without the community you don't have readers. College literary mags should realistically be writing with the local students as the target audience with pieces that address their community, but that's not the point - it's not to be read by others but to create a resume line. The whole literary magazine system is broken and produces no literature because of it.

I agree that there is rarely any discussion about lit mags online BUT I don't agree that lit mags are created for resume lines. I'm a contributing editor on a well known journal and our editorial process is pretty substantial. We have 15 interns, 4 main editor's, and the EiC who ultimately makes the final call. At no point do we create the journal for anything other than fellow writers. You should see some of the things we turn away, brilliant work, but we only have so much room.

>We create the journal for fellow writers

There’s part of the problem - every journal is doing that. That’s the sole target audience for every single journal. Nobody is saying “I’m going to make the students at this university the target audience.” It’s 500-1000 journals competing to be tastemakers to other writers who don’t have time to read that many journals. And regardless of your motives, why are writers submitting? Mostly for the resume line. Why are people working there? Mostly for the resume line. You can say that isn’t true but ask this question: how many pieces do you publish that would generate any kind of controversy among left wing academic types? I doubt many. Nobody wants to rock the boat precisely because the motive of most of the people involved is largely careerism. This is why the mags are all so bland: the same conformist taste being imposed by committee with the same goals. Nobody is trying to create literature which would require publishing things that make others uncomfortable. Nobody is trying to create an audience which would require publishing more local students or local articles or local writers and fewer MFA associate professors.

I get where you're coming from and like I said, I'm not a leftist. I enjoy a lot of what goes in the journal which means it isn't all geared to some political ideology. If rocking the leftist boat is your litmus test for good writing then you'll never be happy reading current journals because unfortunately you and I both live in a tribal society. Right now the left runs the leisure business. Nobody's fault but our collective society. Some day in the future there will be a shift. For now, enjoy the good and ignore the shit. As far as not creating the journal to reach a wider audience that aren't writers...I would say, my opinion, over 75% of people who read fiction are either failed writers, successful writers, or people who want to be writers. If you read something in a journal that you think is shit but it got published anyway, you immediately think "I could write better than that" and the journal has created another writer. I help create the journal for writers of all skill levels to appreciate.

It's not my test for good writing, it's a test for whether a journal is creating literature or not. What they are doing (all of them basically) is running a technique competition. "Wow this opening sentence was so quirky it really grabbed me!" Literature says something. It's not just about technique. It's technique plus substance. The modern literary magazine cannot say anything outside a very narrow band. Humanity is dark and complicated and often not very nice. None of that can be said, so how are they publishing good writing? Everyone can only say the same thing. If anyone gets mad or could get mad it can't be said. It's gone way beyond the political ideology, it's that you can't say anything about people. As for the "writers are the only readers," that's a product of running a technique competition. Only writers can appreciate the technique. Why would a non-writer read something with no substance that doesn't say anything? Non-writers read newspapers. Non-writers read books. They don't read literary magazines because they don't care about who wrote the most clever first line, and there's nothing else to the pieces.

>> No.14641358

>>14641306

That's a very hasty generalization of every journal. I personally don't vote for pieces that have quirky first sentences but if the technique is provocative or something I haven't seen before then I do indeed praise it for its subversion of the norm. You seem to be writing slot of sentences that simply translate to: "why can't there be writing about reality?" And to that I ask what kind of dark, complicated, and not very nice substantive literature would you recommend journals publish that deviates from the leftist border/immigrant/gay/POC narratives that are already being published? You think everyone on the left lives some sugary fucking lifestyle because they took over writing and entertainment? A lot of the people who you want journals to cater to are going to be left leaning. That's just reality. If it's censorship that you're against then wanting to censor their plight and complication is just as damaging.

It's a pretty true generalization though. There's plenty people could be saying. They want to publish a race issue - why is there no real conversation about race in it? A real white person probably has more complicated thoughts on it than "poor black people aww" or "gas the kikes race war now." I can't publish a piece about someone who thinks black people are genetically less intelligent but hates themselves for thinking it. I can't way I'm afraid to walk into a black neighborhood alone or talk about what happened the time I actually tried it. I can't publish about feeling like I'm walking on eggshells around transgender people because they remind me of my mentally ill mother who would freak out and throw psychotic tantrums on a whim to control people. I can't have a fat main character or a Chinese person who talks in an accent. I can't write a minority character and have them speak in a stereotypical accent even if it is a true accent. I can't tell the truth about the way it feels to date women as a man, or tell the truth about any of the urges all men have towards women because it would make them feel bad. I can't say Christianity is good. On and on and on - I can only cater to one accepted band of thought. I can't publish real thoughts because real people have dark thoughts. And the journals only cater to one audience - why? Not one literary journal anywhere is willing to write to anyone else. It's not censorship to say put one piece in there that is outside the narrow view of a very narrow audience.

Who is the audience of these lit mags? On this board we've said for a few years that the people who buy these mags are aspiring writers who want to contribute to said magazines. If this premise is true, would it not be true that these mags are just to get writing credits? (not on purpose, but it just works out this way). If not who does purchase these things? I live in NYC and I never see these mags move unless I buy one.

Why do you think there is only one true thought? People have these thoughts. People have all kinds of badthought. That is the truth. How can you explore what it is to be human if you forbid writers from writing about anything that would offend? Why do you find My Abortion Story And Why It Empowered Me #2,173 interesting and call it literature? Why is that more interesting than a woman who has an abortion and wants to write about her regrets or why it made her Catholic or why she wishes she'd never done it? Why is #2,713 more interesting than a story about a man who feels like a woman murdered his child? You think people don't feel these things or think these things? You can force people to write only inoffensive things, but you can't force people to call your literary magazine "literature."

intrusive thoughts are part of the human condition, but they aren't the result of "underlying desires tearing through a flimsy membrane of human rationality," as you put it. they're literally just flicks of chemicals in your brain, images fueled by anxiety. you've mixed politics, solipsism, and conceit, put the mixture on a goddamn hospital bed, pulled the lever, watched as lightning struck it, and then claimed you made a human. but, my friend, while the mad hulking machine is in his pyre-bed of trash on fire...he is not functioning just fine

Dude...you can literally say ALL of those things. Say them in a creative and non-malicious manner. If you write well, you can have a character be your stand-in, or your mouthpiece, or anything. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY BY THE GLOBOHOMO RULES. That you're convinced that you do is just a result of your perception that trannies, fags, and blacks run shit. They don't unless you let them.

Don't let yourself be bullied. But also don't let these unhinged lunatics be an excuse for you to be a bad, angry writer.

It's like it will make people turn on the whole progressive discourse, and it's clear that the guy does turn into something ugly, but I can imagine people talking about who's in the right, whether it wasn't his fault. In that sense it's kind of a male "Cat Person" (down to the basic millennial writing style, the seeming irredeemable last line, and the soi-disant point of literature being to discuss a story as if it's real life and wondering who's to blame...).
