Idler 40: Carnal Knowledge now available
The new Idler is available now. The design has been overhauled by typesetter Christian Brett of Bracketpress and the cover is by Damien Hirst. The theme is sex. Inside there are interviews with Kevin Godley of 10cc fame, and Esther Perel, author of the best-selling Mating in Captivity. Other contributors include Neil Boorman, Michael Bywater, Jay Griffiths, Nicholas Lezard, Penny Rimbaud, Chris Yates, Alice Smith, Robert Twigger, Sarah Janes, Gee Vaucher, Bill Drummond and Mark Manning… it’s packed as usual with pleasure, provocation and wit.

"An idle mind is a questioning, sceptical mind. Hence it is a mind not too bound up with ephemeral things, as the minds of workers are. The idler, then, is somebody who separates himself from his occupation: there are many people scarcely conscious of living except in the exercise of some conventional occupation."
