March 28, 2012Alun Rowlands “Before starting, before describing the structure of this beautiful, brand-new and yet nostalgically classic journal recently launched in both Berlin and London by Alun Rowlands and Matt Williams, before all of that I have a question buzzing in my mind: do we believe in the existence of a direct relationship between a socio-political situation and cultural development? In other words, to closely approach the central issue: do we believe in the existence of a direct link between our current unstable economic climate and our fast-changing, productionsaturated cultural development? If so, how does it relate to the recent proliferation of printed matters, journals, fanzines, pamphlets and small magazines, which focus on the practice of writing?” — Review: Francesco Pedraglio ‘Novel’ MAP #18 Summer 2009 1 Comment
