"The Believer ... puts out a welcome mat for pluralism and wide-eyed curiosity... decidedly youthful, not only in their characteristic generational concerns--the habit of nonchalantly blending pop culture, literary esoterica and academic theory, for instance, or the unnerving ability to appear at once mocking and sincere--but also in the sense of bravado and grievance that ripples through their pages." --The New York Times "It's got people talking in the lofty reaches of the book world, and--with its high-low mix of literary and pop-culture commentary and McSweeney's pedigree--it's a magnet for younger readers." --the San Francisco Chronicle "Focusing on the art, not the business, of writing, Believer is smart, jaded and a bit self-indulgent, just like a good literary magazine should be." --the Chicago Tribune "Impassioned." --the Los Angeles Times "Without a doubt, this Believer is heaven-sent." --The Washington Post
