I'm looking for recommendations of literary magazines with good short stories. Tin House is the only one I read right now. I'm hoping for more of the same caliber.
I know there are also great magazines of poetry and criticism, but I'm personally most interested in ones with strong fiction.
New Yorker, Tin House, McSweeney's. Everything else is second tier or lower.

"I just wrote my first short story and I think it's really good and want to know where to submit it."
Fixed that for you.

Please be joking.
Think we'll all still be speaking English in 500 years?
1000 years?
2000 years?
What about Latin? Or French? Chinese?
What's the future of the spoken and written word?
>>8133092
Who cares, honestly
Probably some fucked up version of English that replaces "er" with "a" and that sort of thing.

>>8133092
There's no conceivable way to know, and even if there was: who cares?

So /lit/ is agreed that Epictetus was the greatest and most based of the philosophers, correct?

David foster Wallace. They're both memes

IGNORING meme status. I hate how internet culture tends to completely disregard heartfelt stuff and turn it into a joke. Even as I'm typing this I'm thinking of the million fucking threads about semen staining the mountain tops that happened a few years back

Philip Roth.
Don't forget, everybody! June is National Portrait Painting Month, NaPoPaMo for short! It doesn't matter if you've never painted a portrait before, just paint 21 square inches of portrait per day for one month. By the end of the month, you'll have a 630 square inch portrait. That's the same size as the Mona Lisa!

Are you implying that daily work isn't how craft is developed?
>>8132950
Are you implying that this post is sarcastic?
>>8132941
Cool, I'll paint Van Eyck's Adoration of The Mystic Lamb or maybe Van Der Goes' Portinari Altarpiece.
Yes I know that neither of those are portraits.

David Foster Walrus
Did you read it? I liked it a lot. It's just like Lost but more creepy. And Vandermeer writes so well.
Should have ended at book 1. Was interesting though, glad I read it but wouldn't recommended to others.
>>8132867
the rest of the trilogy has some interesting bits in it, but it never reaches the quality of the first book. i would read the other two if you are interested in learning more about the history of the setting and getting some explanations for some of the weird stuff in the first book, but if you want a similar atmosphere or characters to the first book, you will probably be disappointed.
What's in it? I'd like to know.

Underworld

The Recognitions

The original meme trilogy is as follows. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Gravity's Rainbow
Ulysses
Infinite Jest
Below you'll find the real trilogy that we call " the meme trilogy", and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, and Looking for Alaska
Is there a point in reading poetry like this if it's been translated from a different language? Isn't that part of the point of the poem, is it's supposed to rhyme? Rimbaud sounds like a good place to start in poetry though. Ug.
Read it in French. What's the problem?
