YETI magazine


[Cartoon Yeti logo by Frank Lantz -- I created the above image by scanning the spines of Yeti]

Mike McGonigal's Yeti magazine has been around since 2000 or 2001. Its tagline is "Enthused art, music, writing & other stuff."

You may remember Mike from such features as Chemical Imbalance (on this site, he says "My 33 1/3 book on 'Loveless' is recently published, next I'm editing a collection of my old 'zine 'Chemical Imbalance' and preparing a book on sanctified blues"). Yeti is also publishing books, such as Luc Sante's collection Kill All Your Darlings, co-published with Verse Chorus (also responsible for the Cannanes' David Nichols' great Go-Betweens book).

Yeti became my favorite magazine by including a piece on Robert Walser in the first issue, along with features like this spread of "tattoo ideas" by Swiss-born artist Felix Valloton (1865 - 1925):



Yeti secured my undying devotion with this "Coming Soon" page:


Yeti is currently offering reprints of the early issues, a nice service to mankind. Buy them now.

Here are scans of the handsome covers of each issue.

Review: Latin American Literature and Arts


My best book collecting score last month (besides the Walser book) was finding 14 issues of Review: Latin American Literature and Arts for $.60 each. I seem to have the complete issues of this quarterly for 1972 and 1973, most issues from 74 & 75, and one each from 76 & 77.

This issue focuses on Jose Lezama Lima's Paradiso, available in a revised translation from the great publisher Dalkey Archive. It features drawings throughout by Leonel Gongora (not much info on the web about him). He drew the cover image.

I plan to post a lot about these gems as I work my way through them.
