n+1
''n+1'' is a New York–based American literary magazine that publishes social criticism, political commentary, essays, art, poetry, book reviews, and short fiction. It is published three times each year, and content is published on its website several times each week. Each print issue averages around 200 pages in length.
==Overview==
''n+1'' began in the Fall of 2004, the project of Keith Gessen, Benjamin Kunkel, Mark Greif, Chad Harbach, Allison Lorentzen and Marco Roth. The magazine, described by Gessen as "like ''Partisan Review'', except not dead," was launched out of a feeling of dissatisfaction with the current intellectual scene in the United States, with the editors citing ''The Baffler'', ''Hermenaut'', and the early years of ''Partisan Review'' as inspiration for their magazine. Each of those magazines embodied the age where the "little magazine" was a veritable institution and a major center of innovation in arts and politics.
Their outlook is most frequently summed up by the last lines of their first issue where the editors proclaimed, "it is time to say what you mean.〔They argue that their mission is to create a sense of intellectual cohesion. Kunkel said, "There's a tendency to ghettoize things that are important to us — there's fiction, there's essays and criticism, there's politics — and you can go and find journals about each of these things, but you can't go and find journals about all of those things."〕" Yet in the Third Issue, critic James Wood responded to criticism of his negative criticism and, singling out this quote from Issue 1, stated, "The Editors had unwittingly proved the gravamen of their own critique: that it is easier to criticize than to propose."
The name ''n+1'', conceived in a moment of frustration, comes from an algebraic expression. “Keith and I were talking,” Harbach recalls, “and he kept saying, ‘Why would we start a magazine when there are already so many out there?’ And I said, jokingly, ‘N+1’—whatever exists, there is always something vital that has to be added or we wouldn’t feel anything lacking in this world.”
