The author of this article, Lewis Lapham [1], is himself quite accomplished at 79, and founded the magazine, Lapham's Quarterly [2], which might appeal to some HN readers.

It's a testament to his thesis on Old Masters and Second Acts that you cite his founding of Lapham's Quarterly instead of him being the editor of Harper's for almost forty years.


Seconding that this is a great publication.

A typical quarterly issue can contain excerpts from the Office Space screenplay to Schopenhauer.


Lapham's Quarterly is a literary treasure.


I bummed a cigarette off him a couple years ago. Nice guy, and had a great conversation.
