This special issue was devoted entirely
to the feisty women who ushered in modernism in literature and art, and
the Little Magazine Movement is as significant a literary landmark as
the 1913 Armory Show is to art. The women who founded these ground-breaking
literary magazines were hugely adventurous; they wanted to be at the
Modernist epicenter of the literary endeavor.

THE READING ROOM/6
This issue honors Saul Bellow and
Larry Rivers. Using the language and adventure of the urban frontier,
they transformed the shape of American fiction and art from the 1950s
on. They loved to talk and they loved little magazines. Both were on
our founding Board and will be forever missed.

THE READING ROOM/7
This issue features two superb international firsts: the debut publication in the English language of Journal de Trêve by the extraordinary
French novelist Frédéric Berthet and the rediscovery
of Jenny Ballou’s lost memoir Spanish Prelude. Jenny Ballou’s “Café Revolutionaries” (from Spanish
Prelude), is one of the most lucid accounts of the intellectual
firmament in Spain just prior to the birth of the Spanish Republic.
