Editors Dayna Tortorici and Mark Krotov join Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher to speak about 20 years of the magazine n+1, as well as their new anthology The Intellectual Situation: The Best of n+1’s Second Decade. The book collects n+1 essays, short stories, and reviews from the last 10 years, covering the rise of Bernie Sanders and democratic socialism, the George Floyd protests, #MeToo, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The guests discuss the ins and outs of running a small magazine, the current media landscape, their commitment to formal experimentation and political discourse, and their vision for the future of print. 

Also, Yasmin Zaher, author of The Coin, returns to recommend The Kingdom by Emmanuel Carrère.
