Synopsis

In our 149th issue: Kristin Keane explores the surprising intimacies and revelations of the animal web cam; Eskor David Johnson revisits Trinidad and Tobago’s brief but fateful coup led by Abu Bakr in the summer of 1990; Joel Whitney chronicles novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s imprisonment at the Buru Island “Humanitarian Project,” an Indonesian labor camp for communist sympathizers; and photographer Adalena Kavanagh stops by a small New York City establishment that offers portraits taken by a peculiar piece of hand-sensing technology. We also have interviews with writer Suzanne Scanlon; legendary actor Delroy Lindo; book publisher Lisa Lucas; and Fargo series creator Noah Hawley who speaks to actor Jason Schwartzman about Moog synths, Alien’s class consciousness, and his entrepreneurial approach to Hollywood.

You’ll also find a brand-new two-page poem by Ocean Vuong, Aria Aber’s late-night writing routine, Chris Gayomali on the transcendence of “Like a G6,” and Carrie Brownstein on the plight of the baby-faced professional. In addition to all this, these pages—perfectly bound for your readerly pleasure—feature games, book reviews, lyrical verse dedicated to poorly executed films, a meditation on Joey Lawrence’s sartorial impact, and still more.
