The Idler – issue 33
The philosophy of The Idler is simple, and really quite political too. It is that we have forgotten the importance of leisure and relaxation in this society of ours, in the relentless drive for money, status and productivity, and that we quite urgently need a readjustment of attitude.
I came across a copy in Borders of Kingston just before going away to spend a week lying about on a boat and, always a sucker for an attractive publication, decided to give it a whirl.
It’s a quarterly, the size of a decent novel, and costs £11.99 per issue. It’s a real miscellany and therefore inevitably has some absolute tosh as well as some good stuff in it. However, so far, I have felt that I got good value for money out of issue 33, with a theme of ‘Ladies of Leisure’.
