This February essay for @the_point_mag looking back at the history of the N+1 publication, by co-founder Marco Roth, seems to have flown under the radar but is worth a close reading. Very honest and astute on a matter of great importance. I think any serious male writer trying to accomplish anything meaningful over the past 10 years would have to admit—if he is honest—to something like this being the great psychological challenge of the current frontier. Some are handling it better or worse than others, but I've yet to see anyone name it so perfectly while also, admirably, sharing their own failures. The next era of independent arts and letters will be led by men and women who understand this problem well enough to solve it. Is Marco Roth even on X? I can't find him.
