I’d be afraid to read your review if you hated it.
— Filmmaker Xavier Dolan talking to our interviewer
Just in time for Hanukkah, our inaugural print edition arrives in stores across Canada and beyond (see stockists below). Hazlitt No. 1 collects some of the greatest hits and seminal tracks previously published on the website alongside newly commissioned work. It’s a limited-run, handsomely art-directed, perfect-bound journal that mixes art, photography, and literature with pop culture, politics, and design.
Highlights from Hazlitt No. 1 include: a look at Sheila Heti’s book collection (“Sheila Heti’s Rabbit Eats Books”); original poetry from Patricia Lockwood (“Nessie Wants to Watch Herself Doing It”); Michael Winter on love and the idea of a dangerous life; an interview with George Saunders (“George Saunders Battles Bitterness with Bogeymen”); and a new Tabloid Fiction from Billie Livingston on an Oxycontin epidemic. We also visit Joseph and Amanda Boyden at their home in New Orleans, and eavesdrop on Lucky Peach editor Peter Meehan as he talks shop with fellow cookbook authors Naomi Duguid, Jennifer McLagan, and Meredith Erickson.
You want more? Okay, there’s more. You’ll also find:
- “I Bet Your Mama Was a Tent-Show Queen”—Carl Wilson on the legacy of Jackie Shane
- Jhumpa Lahiri’s Family Secrets
- Sarah Nicole Prickett on James Salter’s Blue Moves
- An excerpt from Ghalib Islam's forthcoming novel Fire in the Unnameable Country
- Lynn Crosbie on Lindsay Lohan
- A photo essay documenting Syrian refugees by Liam Maloney
- Three Eulogies by Alexandra Molotkow: Wendy O. Williams, Valerie Solanas, Cookie Mueller
- Plus art and photography by Luis Jacob, Adrienne Kammerer, Hugh Scott-Douglas, Lorne Bridgman and Michael Comeau.
People have been asking us: Is it a book? Is it a magazine? We’re not exactly sure. How about a ‘mook’? Apparently Le mook is a French thing—the coinage of it anyway. The Paris-based publisher Autrement talks about le livre-magazine de ceux qui désirent le monde autrement, as in “the book-magazine for those who wish the world to be different.” A detractor-blogger calls the mook “the ultimate cultural object for the bourgeois-bohemian hipster.” Ouch! But who’s to say? We’ll get into the why of our decision to move into print in a future post.
In the meantime, have a peek inside...
Printed on four different paper stocks Hazlitt No. 1 also smells really nice—but we can’t really take credit for that.
