New Idler Out Today

06 October 2005

It is with great pleasure that today we announce the release of the new Idler. Issue 36: Your Money or Your Life features further dispatches from the edges of culture, including an interview with Joe Rush of the Mutoid Waste Company, Edward Chancellor on how it’s credit not money that makes the world go round, Penny Rimbaud on God and money and an essay on the Medieval guilds. Plus there’s Bill and Zed’s Bad Advice, Damien Hirst’s cockney alphabet and a leisurely chat with Flashman author George Macdonald Fraser.

You can order your copy by clicking on the shop above or through Amazon. The Idler is also available from bookshops.
