The Baffler Returns

Welcome to the Internet home of The Baffler. Launching this temporary website marks one, admittedly small step toward our revival. What will you find here? Hors d’oeuvres, for the most part.

A complete run of Baffler covers, from numbers one to 18

Links to a few articles and squibs about the revival

News of some events we are co-sponsoring in October

Some frequently asked questions

And a newsletter sign-up button (you’ll find it at the top of the right sidebar).

Stay focused now! Soon, the sidewalks will be blanketed with mimeographed facsimiles of new Baffler reportage and criticism. Until then, all we have is this temporary site. In the next few months we’ll add:

A gauzy letter of introduction from new editor John Summers

Self-regarding biographies of the new editorial staff

A potted history of The Baffler, complete with rare images from the archives

News of Baffler founder Thomas Frank’s forthcoming book

… and so much more, including some content!

We’re sorry we went away. But we’ll try not to hurt you again.
