@@errata9968 thank you! Onward and upward. Yeah, I was happy to get the chance to talk about mouse mag (autocorrects to “mouse magic”) on this special occasion
I will certainly be ordering a copy of Mouse, Mr. Concern. l I'm very excited for some of the stuff in there, and especially anything worth comparing to Robert Walser. I got really excited a couple of years ago for Nadja Spiegelman's Astra Magazine and picked up the first two issues each the day they came out at the only independent bookstore in Phoenix, and then the magazine folded. So this will help fill that void.
Absolutely righteous! Mouse is in Walser's family, for sure. We study him assiduously -- that's our fun. I'm interested in Astra. Did you make any cool author discoveries in that first issue?
@@leafyconcern Robert Walser was an incredible writer. When you ask if I made any new discoveries in the first issue, are you referring to Mouse, or Astra? The answer I suppose is yes to both, though I haven't received my copy of Mouse yet. There was a sample of Maggie Millner's "Couplets" in the first issue of Astra and that's how I discovered her. My favorite piece in the magazine by far was one by Elif Batuman, who was the opposite of new to me - she was a familiar face - but it was nice to see a nonfiction piece from her since I associate her with her debut book rather than her novels (which are also good). Did either of you ever read issues of Caketrain while it was still being printed? Very oddball stuff - difficult to categorize. A lot of fun to read.
@@TheBookedEscapePlan No, I hadn't even heard of Caketrain before reading this comment. Their website is alluringly sparse. I thought about clicking on "How 2 trade cryptocurrency" and "Best online casinos" but ended up not clicking on those links. Seems like a magazine with a robust sense of humor. Thanks for the rec.
Hey, thank you! I really dig the design. Super readable and inviting, in my opinion. From the publisher (Morley): "I'll get it in quimby's soon and some other places. For now, it's available online, or irl at Inga Books in Chicago." Inga Books is at 1740 w 18th St. Thank you again for watching and commenting -- I hope you enjoy Mouse, and I am excited to hear what you think of it!
@@ninoalejandrodinglasan8610 on it! (edit 8/30/24: I've never really consciously collected Dostoevsky like I've collected Nabokov, Agee, Ashbery, or Nicholson Baker, but it turns out I have like 5 or 6 of his books and a few of those I have pretty strong associations / reading experiences with! This bodes well for the possibility of a video.)
Congratulations on 1k and here’s to the next thousand.

Congrats on 1K! What a beautiful publication. Do they have any plans of getting it in any local Chicago retailers? Quimby's?

@@leafyconcern Thank you. I'll be on the lookout around the city.
Do you have a dostoevsky collection? If there is I would love to see them and know your thoughts about, Thank you!
