Issue 5 Vol 1: Popular Culture
5th Anniversary Year
Douglas Coupland and Will Self interviews in an edition tackling modern life and popular culture. Yes, the Popular Culture issue has launched in a pointless fanfare. We hired a popular art gallery, opened some cheap wine boxes, wheeled in euro trash and taught them respectable conversation about restaurants, BBC radio and dog adverts. So, in the vein of all art gallery launches, no one looked at the art and the gossip was all about the new edition of Incorporating Writing (ISSN 1743-0380) being bigger and better than most other magazines on the net. Why? In our editorial, G.P.Kennedy ponders the academic viewpoint on popular front and gets annoyed. Jin arrives with her artwork in Perfect Eye. Tom Spurling tackles and rants on the popularity contest. Hermione Bressler gets lost in the sinking world of museums and opines the loss of art to the popular and vacuous media. Jess Greenwood applauds the internet and tackles the death of empathy and John Alder discovers the truth about popular poetry. Dan McTiernan discovers the dark side of popular culture, America and our resident anglo-American, Christine Brandel, weighs in with her response - she is Dan's Father. G.P. Kennedy hangs up his hat and bids farewell to the world of criticism but the critics return with more insights into new and old books that have effected the world of modern UK writing. We're giving away a free copy of Mat Coward's Success...And How to Avoid It and the doors open on our letters page, more bile and more joy in equal amounts - so if you have anything to say, make this your first port of call. Oh, and it's all free.
