Win subscriptions to some great pubs (bc you've read all 6 issues of A/S already, right?)

We were saddened to learn this week that Robin Mookerjee passed away a few months ago. Robin, a literature professor at The New School, was very kind to us--as founding editor Evan put it, he "took us quite seriously before we earned it."
He also authored the first piece ever to appear in A/S, a small and strange musing that he wrote especially for us, and which opened Issue 1.
Here is an excerpt from that piece, "Six Lacunæ for a Little Magazine Known as Armchair/Shotgun."

Well, ghosts leave sticky spots, they are going through that awkward age; they leave fingerprints on the minds, no longer impressionable, which themselves must form lithographic negatives, surfacing in print, like they say, materializing as waxed perfect-bound books, unlike Razzle magazine, Tit-Bits, Tatler, Origin, between whose pages are nothing but white spaces and words as frames.

Thank you, Robin Mookerjee.
