When I was growing up, my parents Harper’s subscription seemed to go on in perpetuity. Occasionally it would have an article of interest to me; I remember one short story in particular, about a chap who became a mouse when he meditated, and decided to stay that way. But for the most part it was all dense grown-up stuff, like choral music and art history.
I never grew in to an appreciation of Harper’s, I’m afraid. I comment on a recent essay here.
