- Déjà Vu Is history repeating itself? The Déjà Vu blog investigates... Stunt Doubles — A publicity stunt may have caused the crash of the Costa Concordia, and in 1926 a candy company wounds its intended audience. A Vision of Infinite Space — In 4th century China, the heavens were empty of substance, but the 21st century government has again committed to a space program. Cry Me A River — The people of North Korea mourn their leader passionately and violently, much like the mourners of Ancient Greece.
- Roundtable Insight and analysis from renowned writers and thinkers. Post Secrets — The young women of old New York had their mail monitored by parents and servants until they could visit that epistolary den of vice, the post office. Back Matter — “The world is a great volume, and man the Index of that Book.” The Myth of the Fourth Estate — We should think of reading the paper and watching the news as acts belonging to the world of ritual as much as the commerce of information.

I always look forward to going to my favorite bookstore (The Tattered Cover) in Denver to see if the Quarterly is in stock for the Spring, Fall, Winter, or Summer. It has become a delightful ritual.
I am a substitute teacher and as soon as I secure a real/contract teaching position I shall buy all the back issues. Your fine magazine is a wealth of information and entertainment. It is obvious to me that the Quarterly is put together by those who love to read and who know what like-minded souls will appreciate.
Thank you.

This magazine has enriched my mind, my conversation and my idle thoughts so very deeply. Thank you so very much Mr. Lapham Lewis and all those that believed in the vision of the Quarterly. In a time when "business schools" are over crowding our already corporate controlled state Universities and the liberal arts, humanities, classics, education funding is suffering elimination and mortal financial wounds from profit worshipping mental midgets, the Quarterly is a lone light house in a the face of a perfect storm.
Also, please thank the art selection team for their researching and selecting of such a fantastic range of thought provoking and passionate visuals. The art always seems to balance the writing beautifully.
Sincerely
Joel Xavier Peissig
P.S. I think presentations/lectures would be an excellent addition to the wonderful
pod-casts interviews.
