In case you missed it on The Baffler... View this email in your browser Hello there guys and ghouls, Thanks to all who came out to last night's release party in Cambridge to celebrate our new issue, "Sickness & Pelf." George Scialabba and Gary Greenwald were insightful as ever, and the evening turned into a bit of a group therapy session - in a lovely and supportive way. The new magazine features George's "The Endlessly Examined Life," which distills forty-five years of doctors' notes into a piece that's not quite a cohesive narrative, but that does tell a kind of story about mental healthcare in America. The Boston Globe this week called it "remarkable." Look for it in your (physical) mailboxes, and online, soon-ish. In the meantime, complement your spooky Halloween this evening by reading Ludmilla Petrushevskaya's short story from issue 25, "Among Friends." It features jealousy, secrets, cemeteries, blood, and a girl with a distendable eyeball. Read it by the light of a jack-o-lantern. -The Booooffler Among Friends, a short story by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya (no. 25) The Baffler will be exhibiting at the "Print & Resist" art festival in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday. Come on down! Predator Drone by Christian Lorentzen (no. 22) Cotton Tenants: Three Families, by James Agee and Walker Evans, published by Baffler Books and Melville House, is now out in paperback.
