Don't drink the kool aid - Mcswys Rep
Power struggle at the Paris Review
Here's a nice aside about one of my favorite periodicals:
"McSweeney's, which is actually solvent, has been particularly successful, having spawned a publishing house, a teaching foundation and even a spinoff publication, The Believer, devoted to reviews. You could make a good case that its founder, Dave Eggers, is in fact the Plimpton of his generation, who leads not just a troupe of earnest literary assistants but what amounts to a cult."
The above theory is bolstered by the recent release of "The Polysyllabic Spree" by The Believer. The book is a collection of Nick Hornby's not-so-cleverly-titled "Stuff I've Been Reading" column, and the title alludes to orchestral pop collective The Polyphonic Spree, who make nice music but are a bit too happy all the time.
I think I see the resemblance, don't you? Plus: I think that's the cheesiest photo I've ever seen, and from the looks of it, Dave knows it.
