	The Believer - About
		The Believer is a monthly magazine where length is no object.
		There are book reviews that are not necessarily timely, and that are very often very long.
		The working title of this magazine was The Optimist.

	Bully Magazine - Stepford Lit: The Believer magazine tries to corner "The New Sincerity" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The best liars are therefore folksy, accommodating, pliable: think of Andy Griffith's bone-chilling performance as a hobo-turned-media star in A Face In The Crowd; think Ellsworth Toohey in The Fountainhead; think of Bill Clinton wagging his finger at the camera and blaming it all on a vast right-wing conspiracy.
		Julavits summed this up in the debut issue, in a rambling messay about the "snarky, dumbed-down world of book reviewing." That there is a "world" of book reviewing, implying a giant gulag-like Litboro, is itself false; that this "world" is, as a whole, a "snarky, dumbed-down" one is equally untrue.
		In the current issue, the new target of The Believer's passive-aggressive rage is the Underground Literary Alliance, who I wrote about here in an earlier issue.

		Unwilling to let go of his conviction, the believer finally argues that perhaps the gardener is not only invisible, but incorporeal, undetectable, scentless, and silent—“a gardener who comes secretly to look after the garden which he loves.”
		With one small modification, we can change the entire flavor of the story: Imagine instead that the two friends stumbled upon the same field of flowers and weeds, but notice immediately that the flowers grew in several neat rows, spanning across the square clearing.
		The presence of a recognizable order makes it all the more reasonable to believe that there was a gardener to arrange the order—this is the key contention of Intelligent Design proponents.

		We decided to abandon the traditional Believer cover grid, which we felt is ideal for our other issues, ones that have a wide variety of themes and articles, but would not unify the theme of this issue.
		The Believerâs covers are normally 3-by-3 grids with alternating headlines and portraits describing the essays and interviews inside.
		It also put the name of the magazine in a new context; in October, The Believerâs bold, block-letter logotype became as much a signifier for Kerry as it was for the magazine.

	"The Polysyllabic Spree" by Nick Hornby - Salon
		Nick Hornby's new collection of his essays from the Believer, the literary magazine edited by Heidi Julavits, is named in homage to the rock collective the Polyphonic Spree, who dress in choir robes and perform feel-good, orchestral pop.
		When he writes that the Believer staff's promise of a night on the town in New York resulted in their dragging him to a two-and-a-half-hour reading of the nominees for the National Book Critics Circle, you mourn for Hornby and his evening.
		Where it deserves credit for bucking a trend that is harming contemporary criticism isn't in its attitude toward negative reviews but in the freedom it has given Hornby for his column.

	Free CDs can really sell music magazines. But the record industry isn't so crazy about giving away the store.
		While magazine publishers tout the arrival of authentic interactivity and deeper connections with readers by adding free CDs to every issue, the music industry worries that yet another route has been found around buying records to obtain music, even though most of the free magazine CDs are compilations.
		Like British music magazines, which nearly all now come in cellophane bags that also contain that issue's free CD, their American counterparts are starting to glue compilation CDs to their pages and covers, licensing tracks from labels at little or no cost for the promotional value.
		Another enterprising magazine editor/record producer, Matt Derby of San Francisco-based the Believer magazine, a stepchild of the Dave Eggers/McSweeney's family, put together an entirely original and evocative CD for the magazine's annual music issue.

	Typo Magazine 3: Thirty Letters To The Believer
		I happen to believe that the Yasusada hoax was nothing less than a piece of performance art—a genuinely avant-garde act because the object of its critique were those same authorizing institutions that made its own "authorization" possible.
		Your article in The Believer in response to Doubled Flowering was petty, smug, poorly tuned, regrettably boorish, patently naive, possibly drunk, definitely sloppy, oafish, seemingly driven by spite, nearsighted, inconsistent, contradictory, rudimentary asinine, hallucinatory, dumb, and alarmingly bizarre.
		Atkinson asks us to believe that the bond between writer and reader "is so delicate, so reliant on blind trust and empathy—so much like love, really," that we require "intimacy with writers," as distinct from our intimacy with their works.

	Without a Doubt, This Believer Is Heaven-Sent (washingtonpost.com)
		The Believer reviews books, which is certainly literary, but it also reviews motels and animals and hand tools, such as the Ace Heavy-Duty Glue Gun, which doesn't sound very literary at all.
		The magazine is published 10 times a year in San Francisco by a gaggle of young editors who explain their brainchild in a cryptic statement on their Web site: "We will focus on writers and books we like.
		So far, the Believer has survived for two years despite the fact that it contains no ads and costs $8 a copy and is impossible to pigeonhole.

	The Neal Pollack Invasion
		When it comes to the world-bending dispute between The Believer Magazine and The Underground Literary Alliance, I fall somewhere in the middle, having had sexual or quasi-sexual affairs with at least one member of both teams.
		On the one hand, I believe that literature should be a peaceful art practiced by innocent people, thereby making it immune from criticism and media "snarkiness," particularly if the books were written by friends of mine, or friends of friends.
		On the other hand, I also believe that the business of writing books has fallen into the hands of a sinister East Coast elite who ignore literature's true topic and mission: The violent overthrow of the established capitalist order.

	Salon.com Books \| The Believer
		Dave Eggers is back -- sort of -- with a lively new monthy magazine from his McSweeney's team that attacks poison-pen literary cynics.
		As soon as I was spotted with the Believer on a Brooklyn subway platform, I was promptly accosted by a dark-eyed woman in her 20s wondering where she could find the debut issue.
		The magazine, as has been reported elsewhere, is the brainchild of novelist Heidi Julavits, author of "The Mineral Palace," and Vendela Vida, who wrote the female rites-of-passage investigation "Girls on the Verge," and is, not incidentally, Dave Eggers' fiancée.

	The Neal Pollack Invasion
		The Believer Magazine, a monthly publication started by Heidi Julavits and Vendela Vida, one of whom is married to my best friend Dave Eggers, has started a new feature called Snarkwatch.
		The purpose of the feature, derived from an over-discussed essay Julavits wrote a spell ago, is to ferret out unfair reviews of literary works from the popular and not-so-popular press and to subject those reviews to a stern schoolmistress hide-whipping.
		Since The Believer published the essay, Julavits and Vida have been under attack for their anti-snark posture, largely from people who are jealous of them for getting their novels published.

		Gerson defends Bush’s tax cuts, which the President’s critics believe not only favor those with the highest incomes but have also left less money for important domestic programs; Gerson believes that free markets and free trade are the best means of lifting people out of poverty, and that lower taxes stimulate both.
		In fact, few believed that Bush demonstrated much leadership throughout the Hurricane Katrina crisis; when the storm made landfall he was on vacation, in Crawford, Texas, and seemingly detached from daily events.
		Cromartie, who has studied the role of evangelicals in public life, believes that the first generation of evangelical activists became fixated on a narrow set of conflict-ridden issues, mainly abortion and gay marriage.

	Don DeLillo and Greil Marcus talk about Dylan
		The Believer magazine the other day (The Believer is put out by the McSweeney's folks, but where the McSweeney's journal is mostly fiction, The Believer is mostly nonfiction.
		But the really interesting article in the magazine (all the pieces are worth reading) is a conversation between one of my favorite novelists, Don DeLillo, and one of my favorite music writers/cultural critics, Greil Marcus, about one of my favorite artists, Bob Dylan.
		You can buy The Believer at bookstores like Barnes and Noble or Border's (or, if you live someplace lucky enough to have a good independent bookseller, of course you can go there) or you can order it on-line at their website.

		The Believer, for those of you that don’t know, is a monthly literary publication put out by McSweeney’s – the publishing company started by known jerk (but great author) David Eggers.
		The Believer is the home of Nick Hornby’s “What I’ve Been Reading,” the monthly column I ripped off heavily in doing my own monthly book column of the same name.
		I liked all of the past The Believer magazines I thumbed through, and they have a handful of books out, all of which I’d like to read someday.

	Reno News and Review January 27, 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Nick Hornby's chummy new book, The Polysyllabic Spree, is a volume composed over the course of a year and change for The Believer magazine.
		Because The Polysyllabic Spree originally was published in The Believer, the magazine Vendela Vida and Heidi Julavits started in San Francisco as an alternative to snarky criticism, Hornby keeps the griping to a minimum.
		Most of his ire is directed at himself: for being such a lazy reader, for not being smart enough to “get it” (or understand the point of a book) or for flattering his intellectual ego by buying great big tomes of letters and diaries by highbrow writers he knows he will never read.

		Yes the believer magazine was being published BUT when the information was needed the staff at the believer was NOT able to help.
		I always wanted to believe that Garth would never stomp on hearts of fans that way...but what am I to think when this last slap was delivered to us.
		So, while writing to Tami at The Believer to telll her our feelings is a great idea (good thinking, Doug!) I have another idea which I happen to think is worthwhile.

	Potts on Qutb in the Believer - Gadling
		For those out there who love music and good writing, I highly suggest the magazine The Believer.
		I believe (ha ha) it's put out by the same folks who put out McSweeneys, the online version of which I pay attention to for our Friday Funny, and the dead tree version to which I subscribe.
		The Believer is what Rolling Stone should be, and maybe what it was for a brief period in the 60s/early 70s.But anyway, it's a fine magazine, and Rolf Potts, as folks here know, since I blog about him every so often, is a fine writer.

		"The Believer is an amiable yet rigorous forum for writing about books.
		It seeks to extend the ever-shortening shelf life of new books (and revives interest in books long overlooked), and stresses the interconnectivity of books to pop culture, politics, art, and music.
		To that end, the focus of the magazine includes essays on these topics, as well as lengthy interviews with philosophers, upholsterers, geneticists, and other great minds."
