Hornby heads, this is your moment! Get the latest collection of Nick Hornby’s riotously entertaining Believer columns for just five dollars when you subscribe to our thirteen-time National Magazine Award–finalist magazine via this page. In this new anthology (comprising his columns written during the magazine’s Vegas years), Hornby delves into the latest escapades from his reading life. These consistently hilarious dispatches touch on numerous subjects, including epic cattle drives, chess prodigies, and Arsenal’s 1976 thrashing of West Ham. From his tub-side lectern, Hornby catalogues everything he reads—the good, the great, and the could-not-finish—with the characteristic wit and charm that has made his column so widely beloved. Whether writing about heartbreak or quantum physics, Hornby offers surprising insights, and proves himself, once again, as one of our greatest living cultural critics.
Bring home this book for the most reasonable of all prices and enjoy a full year of the very best that The Believer has to offer (including full digital access to the magazine’s archives and online-only columns). What could be greater? That is not for us to say.
Here’s a preview of what else you’ll find coming your way for your reading pleasure:
The Believer Issue 146
In issue 146 of The Believer: Pablo Calvi on the developing controversy around the Wakasa stone—a memorial to a Japanese American killed at an internment camp in Delta, Utah; Paul Collins on the possibility of enfranchisement for intellectually disabled citizens; Elisa Gabbert on the logic behind roller coasters and horror films; and Ahmed Naji on Michael Heizer’s City, an immense land art project composed of striking concrete sculptures. You’ll find interviews with The Office’s Creed Bratton, poet Eileen Myles, philosopher Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, and musician Caroline Rose, as well as a new comic about food delivery robots by Lane Milburn. Plus, Julia Alvarez writes about her enchanting godmother; Laura Marris hikes to a chemical-polluted creek off the Niagara River; Andrew Lewis Conn recommends a rollicking six-hundred-page novel about postwar America; and Nick Hornby returns, humorous as ever. We also have new poems from Taneum Bambrick and Monica Sok, small press book reviews, games, a schema of highly obscure viola jokes, and so much more.
We also have interviews with authors Hernan Diaz and Mona Simpson, podcaster Monica Padman, and sportswriter Marcus Thompson II, as well as a new comic from George Gene Gustines on being a sixteen-year-old letter hack. Plus, Kent Monkman finds his “wiggle,” Susan Steinberg reflects on American Psycho as assigned reading, and Emma Copley Eisenberg writes about all that Eastwick, Philadelphia, used to be. All this plus new-sprung guest columns from Daniel Halpern and Madeleine Thien, Jenny Slate–penned trivia, poems, book reviews, a historical survey of art-world pejoratives, and more.
The Believer Issue 147
Inside Issue 147: Will McGrath tags along with a basketball team of Somali American teenagers as they journey from Minnesota to the Sunshine State for a national tournament; R. Emmet Sweeney describes the many attempts to adapt a bestselling 2,500-page Tamil epic for film; Mychal Denzel Smith turns to online chess after the loss of his mother leaves him unable to write; Sandy Ernest Allen traces our cultural depictions of electroshock therapy; and Boots Riley, in a sprawling interview with Annalee Newitz, discusses comic books, labor strikes, and conversations as art form. You’ll also find interviews with Kaveh Akbar, Kate Zambreno, Jack Stratton of trailblazing indie band Vulfpeck, and punk legend Kathleen Hanna; as well as two new poems by Eduardo C. Corral and Ruben Quesada that have been illustrated by artists Gabrielle Bell and Hartley Lin.
Find all this plus: Giri Nathan on the paranoia in M. Night Shyamalan’s weirdest film; Nick Hornby recommending, with some regret, reading material for Bruce Springsteen fans; and Carrie Brownstein returning to advise on the subject of “healthy” eating. And, as always, even more awaits within these ink-perfumed pages, including small-press book reviews, games, and a grand tour of Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities.
