Open City is a rare contemporary phenomenon: a literary journal that gets people talking about literature, with contributions from a dynamic mix of prominent writers, undiscovered aspirants, and lost treasures by writers from past eras. From Edvard Munch's journals to Terry Southern's screenplays to Rick Moody's poetry to Michael Cunningham's essays to Mary Gaitskill's short stories, Open City features an exciting range of talents, with an edgy style and wit not to be found in any other literary journal. Volume Number 17 contains stories by Jack Walls, Adrian Dannatt, and Siobhan Reagan; poetry by Nathaniel Bellows, Heidi Kujac, and Daniel Nester; and art by Matthew Higgs, Delia Brown, and Kerry Tribe.

the "New" paris review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
funky and astute might be appropriate adjectives to describe Open City mag., which is more than a literary portrait "of New York City and the city in general." with writing not merely urban(e) or cynical (consider the dense, nature-themed poetry of Rodney Jack and the quirky yet illuminating work of Catherine Bowman in #18), here is the intelligentsia--artful and heartfelt, in a format as original as the visions it collects.
