1.American Scholar from: Phi Beta Kappa Society
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Magazines : American Scholar
Off The Bookshelf's Price: $30.00
Prices subject to change.


I had subscribed to the American Scholar for many years for the fine essays. I've let my subscription lapse now that the new editors have dumbed the magazine down. I can't imagine who they're trying to appeal to. The current issue's recourse to Kitty Kelly was the straw that broke the camel's back.

2.Paris Review from: Paris Review Foundation Inc
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Magazines : Paris Review
Off The Bookshelf's Price: $40.00
Prices subject to change.


The writing in the Paris Review is probably unmatched elsewhere in a popularly available magazine. Other magazines and reviews sometimes have top quality pieces, maybe one or two excellent pieces in each issue, but I found that the high standards of quality in the Paris Review is very rarely matched. The Paris Review unlike most publications is systematically excellent.

The fictional stories are interesting and seemingly unique. The poetry is vivid and compelling. The interviews and non-fiction pieces also are no less enticing, excellent and important. If you are interested in writing, in reading compelling fiction and non-fiction, or the creative arts generally, I strongly recommend this magazine.

3.Tin House from: Mccormack Communications
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Tin House is a terrific literary magazine. It's full of progressive, often experimental, prose, poetry, essays, etc. Check out "Bestial Noise" which is a collection of writing by many Tin House writers.

Magazines : Virginia Quarterly Review

This is my favorite "literary" review. Although it seems to verge on a current affairs publication, it's much more in depth than most newspapers and, head over hills, better than TIME and NEWSWEEK. There seems to be a theme to each issue--mostly connected to a region or special issue. The current issue is about "Outcasts" and covers a civil rights era kidnaping, the post Katrina Gulf states, and much more. I couldn't stop reading on a recent plane trip.

7.Alaska Quarterly Review from: Univ Ak Anchorage / Aqr
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Magazines : Alaska Quarterly Review

I find it quite funny that almost 3000 people have posted a review for the DaVinci Code, and no one has reviewed AQR, one of the world's foremost forums of contemporary literature. As a reader of short stories I can say the 30 or so stories published each year in this magazine help set the trend for fiction writing, consistently, year on year. Some of these stories are simply magnificent - the best I've read anywhere. Journals like this are terribly under-rated, and their only objective is to produce the highest quality writing. There is negligible payout and no profit involved. This is art here, folks, in the truest sense of the word.

8.Missouri Review from: Univ of Missouri-Columbia
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Magazines : Missouri Review
Off The Bookshelf's Price: $24.00

I was compelled to write a review after I received my new copy of the Missouri Review (MR) a few weeks ago. Before I get into MR, I just wanted to say that they've recently changed the design of their journal for the better. They've always had a fairly nice design, but the new MR is slightly larger with excellent cover art (so you'll want to display it on your coffee table) and some nice art illuminating the insides as well. (as well as their usual goofy cartoons which are never as good as the New Yorker's but can occasionally be side-splittingly funny).

If you are unfamiliar with journals, you might think that The MR is a magazine about Missouri. This is not the case. The MR is a showcase for talented writers in a variety of fields from all across the US (and sometimes international ... Read More
