50th Celebration Issue

“Fifty issues, sixteen years: it feels like an achievement for what is generically labelled a ‘little’ magazine,” writes Editor Philip Davis in the 50th issue of The Reader. Inside the issue, the editors give what they deem as the finest writing from their past issues including pieces from Doris Lessing, Simon Barnes, Patrick McGuinness, Raymond Tallis, Carol Rumens, and Howard Jacobson.

There is also a selection of new writing from Blake Morrison ,Connie Bensley, Les Murray, Philip Jupitus, Ian McMillan, Michael Stewart, Sian Davis, and more.
