I do read lots of other stuff but time has been short and TNY manages more consistently than any other mag I know to push the envelope. If you have illusions about the role of alcohol in creativity, read "Day of the Dead" by D.T. Max on p. 76 of the Dec. 17th issue. It's a thumbnail bio of Malcom Lowry, author of "Under the Volcano" (1947), hailed as one of the top twelve English novels of all time; he was considered the heir of James Joyce. He died ten years afterward, after passing out from massive quantities of alcohol and barbiturates. He was 47.

Bonner, who edited and rewrote Lowry's texts daily, almost certainly co...
