We launched the online version of the January/February issue of the Washington Monthly tonight. I’ve been working on it almost nonstop since December 26th, which is why I haven’t been around all that much to write about the issues of the day.
We now move into the promotional stage of things, but that requires less intensive and sustained effort on my part than transforming the print edition into an online edition. So, I should be able to write a lot more this week.
We have a lot of really good material in this issue, including our feature on man-eating polar bears.
If you’re a fan of Jon Krakauer’s writing, you’ll enjoy the style of the article. Personally, I have a thing for stories about people who have enough disposable income and vacation time to visit the most forbidding places on Earth and then run into some serious problems. Whether that’s an avalanche on Mount Everest or a hungry polar bear in remote Labrador, I just eat the stuff up.
