- pervycreeper 12y ago>The New Inquiry is not a content farm by any stretch of the imagination I have yet to encounter any significant or substantial original idea on that site. For the most part they give a superficial and pedestrian (if sometimes peculiar) ideological gloss to random cultural ephemera. I think this describes a higher-register version of Buzzfeed, at least.
- benbreen 12y agoI don't think this particular article is any good, but you should give the New Inquiry another chance. Their stuff varies widely, but the presence of people like Teju Cole means that they publish good stuff sometimes: http://thenewinquiry.com/author/teju-cole/ http://thenewinquiry.com/author/teju-cole/
- pervycreeper 12y agoThanks, I'll give him a glance (Rob Horning as well).
- foolrush 12y agoYikes. There are a remarkable collection of writers on that site such as Rob Horning. Contemporary and readable, with some decent depth to explore further. I am surprised at the comparison.
