The Review Review
Abstract
A quick glance at the first bookshelf in n+1's office yields Goncharov's novel Oblomov; esoteric, humorous, and askew from the canonical norm, this sighting tells me I'm at the right office better than a sign on the door. A biannual journal of cultural criticism, fiction, and literary trends, n+1 has in the five years since its inception become a literary golden boy on the same sparing level as the staid and long running journals - picture The New Yorker's famous cartoon of Eustace Tilley looking through his monocle pensively at n+1 instead of a butterfly. Situated in a huge building in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, n+1's office is a small common space with a clean look and past issues neatly lining the walls, a quiet sanctuary amid offices that I hazard are teaming with architects, designers, and Wilhelm Reich-like psychiatrists. I'm met by two of n+1's employees, one is Chad Harbach, Executive Editor, who offers me a beer and patiently talks with me for over an hour about the magazine he helped found. In addition to his role as n+1's editor, Harbach's first novel, The Art of Fielding, (Little, Brown) will be out in 2011.
