Defunct, A Literary Repository for the Ages

Check out Defunct, "a literary repository for the ages." With Arthur Ganson's Thinking Chair (2002) on the cover, the online biannual magazine's first issue offers a selection of "Mementos from the Trash Bin of History," quietly amusing stories that ask, "What's nostalgia got to do with it?" Volume I includes Sven Birkerts' review of The Rake, Dinty W. Moore's musings on the quickly vanishing fixture of the department store in The Wanamaker People, and Joe Wenderoth's recollections of Toots Barger: Queen of Duckpins.

These are highly entertaining reads. Get Defunct.
