As I mentioned on The Value just now, it's nice to see these guys finally getting the attention they deserve. (As for their web version being crap? Well, hardly. Those talking may wish to start here.) But anybody interested in the current state of literary affairs and wishing neither to despair entirely nor read only cute commercials should definitely take note of n+1. Don't worry, the comparisons with Eggers are desperately overwrought. And for the moment, subscriptions are still cheap (it's a better thing between covers, really). (Full disclosure, n+1 once offered me the position of French language correspondent, which I promptly turned down for lack of propre qualification. But then again, it may have been a joke.) More here, here and here.
While I'm at it, the latest issue of PMC offers some interesting things for those with the requisite stomach, though you undoubtedly knew that already. May I recommend R. Williams' review of Rogues and David Wills on Politics of Friendship.
Update: Also, Scott McLemee wonderfully reviews the new documentary, Zizek!
