I found out about The Walrus while watching an interview with Noah Richler on Book Television (back when I had Canadian satellite). During the interview, they mentioned that the first issue of this cool new magazine, The Walrus, had just come out. I was very intrigued; amazingly, the local Barnes & Noble had a copy! I was delighted. And since then The Walrus has become one of my favorite magazines.
In fact, in comparison to similar magazines (Harper’s, maybe The New Yorker) it is the only magazine that I read cover to cover. I’m not sure why I insist on this (it’s probably got to do with it being an import from Canada, but really it’s just so well written that I enjoy everything), but I never regret reading every piece.
The magazine has recently had a face lift, a new cover design and, what seems to me to be a little more white space…it feels like each issue is a little less text-heavy. Which is obviously a little disappointing, and yet when you have a lack of free time, as I do, it makes it a bit easier. (more…)
