Gigantic

gigantic-hand

Gigantic, a magazine run by James Yeh, Rozi Jovanovich, Lincoln Michel, and Ann DeWitt will soon be swelling hands in awful ways. How soon? April soon.

From the website:

Gigantic #1 arriving April 2009

Debut issue featuring:

-Deb Olin Unferth and Joe Wenderoth In conversation on the influences of “bad art.”

-New work from Ed Park, Shane Jones, Pedro Ponce, Justin Taylor, along with other new and exciting voices.

-Gary Shteyngart on meat.

-Line Drawings, collages and photography both odd and beautiful.

-Tao Lin asks Malcolm Gladwell some questions and also talks about genius, hamsters and, well, Malcolm Gladwell.

No sign yet as to how you might buy a copy, but the editors promise that it will be cheap and will cost ‘very little compared to other literary journals.’ Keep on eye on their website for information.

      hey ryan, thanks for the shout-out. we’re really excited about the mag. it’s good to see our enthusiasm is not just that awkward kind of enthusiasm that is shared between like four people who nobody else at really likes and makes fun of behind their backs (and sometimes to their fronts). nice to know there are at least five of us now.

      just so there’s no confusion, i’m only one of the founding editors, though. rozi jovanovich, lincoln michel, ann dewitt and i are all founding editors. maybe there’s a way to update the post? i would hate for people to think i’m the “frontman” or something when i’m only a part, we’re all just only parts.

      yeah I google imaged gigantic and got this. it was the first one. kind of weird that you guys missed it. guess the image quality isn’t really up to snuff but the content is very pure.

      look forward to your mag.
