The Baffler #82

Always sharp, slightly tongue-in-cheek, The Baffler is a major voice in compelling and unexpected left-wing political criticism, cultural analysis, short stories, poems, and art.

In this issue: Bloom and Gloom 

Issue 82 “Bloom and Gloom” surveys the state of the environment and asks: Who will defend the Earth against our predations? This issue pours one out for the Chinese paddlefish, the cryptic tree hunter bird, and the Environmental Protection Agency.  Also inside- Wildfires and insurance companies, the future of peat in Ireland, the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, what grows in the asphalt of the mini mall, and speculative fiction on telepathic crops and corn's toxic codependency with man.
