Bookforum shutting down.

The slow, methodical vanishing of serious (but curious) literary contemplation proceeds...

This final issue (or not?) on Hilton Als (on Prince!), Colette, N.K. Jemison's NYC, Sasha Frere-Jones on the art of Gordon Matta-Clark, new Cormac McCarthy novels (that makes me want to read at least one of them).

I've truly enjoyed Bookforum, and it is a shame this is probably its last issue.
