Chekhov's Mistress
More Paris Review
TPR has been a pretty big topic around here lately, so here’s another article to mull over. (Thanks to Tingle Alley for the link.) There’s a couple interesting points:
- Can a literary journal outlast the death of its founder? (especially if the founder was a central as someone like Plimpton) Sometimes, instead of continuing in the founder’s footsteps, it’s better to take the changing of leadership as a chance to retool and reinvent.
- The lifetime of a lit journal is estimated at around 10 years. Sometimes, journals prolong or regenerate themselves by turning to journalism (Granta is used as an example). An interesting idea, given some recent speculation about TPR’s future.
There’s some other stuff in the article, but I’m not going to even bother to repeat what they said about Dave Eggers.
