Just Because You're Alone, Doesn't Mean You Have to Be Lonely; Review of Isthmus, Spring/Summer 2018
Abstract
Tinder is meant to act as a bridge, an isthmus, if you will, between two (or more) strangers, and like any social interaction, it has its own customs and traditions. No one is at home on Tinder—although some do seem more comfortable than others—and generally, it's not a place you want to stay for long. It’s a place to meet and then, ideally, leave together. More often than not, though, who you actually end up getting to know better is yourself and, probably, your own loneliness. Isthmus Review does something quite similar in its seventh issue. Already on the front cover we're confronted with a pram chugging down a crystalline river in the middle of nowhere North America. The scene is majestic, the picture is black-and-white, and the pram is filled to the brim with passengers. We, however, are left standing on the shore.
