How do you get To Hell?
Buzzwords Deux links to its elder sibling Buzzwords (which I won’t link to directly because of its browser resizing) which itself links to a Guardian article on a new literary magazine: To Hell:
“It’s a return to the traditional literary journal,’ says [Laurence Johns]. ‘Coming out of the Nineties, where everything had to be cool and knowing, I believe there is space for something with some integrity and weight. I’m a bit of cultural snob so it is intending to be highbrow and demanding.’ To Hell will be unapologetically elitist, then, but in content and circulation rather than contributors, taking as its model the kind of literary community that grew up around the City Lights bookshop in San Francisco in the Fifties. ‘It won’t be just well-known writers,’ Johns says. ‘I’m looking for new voices that have something to say on the big questions.“
Sounds like my kind of journal. One small question though: does it have a website?
