LATEST COMMENTS FROM OUR READERS Please continue the two pages of Comments from Our Readers. They are the appetizers of the feast that follows. It arouses one's interest to read of so many reasons why the REVIEW is popular in spite of being "Unpopular." For over sixty years, in the interest of humanity, I have been an unpopular pioneer. And yet, in a review of the years today, I find I have been on the side, that either has won, is winning, or is sure to win . . . and send me the coming year The Unpopular Review. It is comforting and very pleasant to read venturesome thoughts couched in venturesome terms, - especially when one has the will though not the wit to do such things for oneself. Each year has four important events to me. That is each time I receive The Unpopular Review. Don't you DARE stop it until you hear from me to that effect. Quite the best thing published. I wouldn't be without the "Unpopular. It's doubly appreciated by us expatriates [in Nicaragua] who have to glean our knowledge of the happenings of the outside world from garbled cables and an occasional paper. at once "different," charming, ... it stimulates some thoughtwhich in these modern ? times is an achievement in itself. The American mind needs just such a stimulus to thinking all around every question. The freshness of its point of view is invigorating. The crying need of the weary old world is to get away from conventional viewpoints, conventional morality and conventional taste. It needs men and women who not only see things with their own eyes but do not fear to say that they have seen. We are living by habit and going to our death in as deadly a routine as if each soul was not a fresh and wonderful eternal adventure. [This is interesting and very suggestive. It is really our intention to stand up for most of the "conventional morality and conventional taste." But we confess that many a "point of view" from which they have hitherto been mapped seems to us no longer tenable, and we often try to base our surveys upon new ones. EDITOR] "Something Different." It is bright, crisp, snappy, zesty. The only thing I don't like about it is the name. Well, I guess I'll have to subscribe for it too. - I have thoroughly enjoyed it. In an age when all the magazines of the country are running headlong in one direction, and dragging after them the people who like to have their thinking come ready-made, it is quite refreshing to meet a periodical which is distinctly different, and which has the witty flavor characteristic of the best English periodicals. ... the most virile and interesting magazine that I have ever seen. it would not bore me in the least to give you my impressions if I had any to give. I have no more impression of your magazine than my friend has of the girl he went to see the Sunday afternoon he discovered THE UNPOPULAR REVIEW, but I am still waiting for the return of the magazine, and shall attempt to put aside all jealousy and give it a fair trial. |
