One in a series of posts featuring pages from Hermenaut, a DIY intellectual zine/journal published by HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn from 1992 through 2000-01.
Right from the beginning, my generational re-periodization project has taken very seriously the argument that there is no such thing as a generation. Here I quote Ethan Smith, whom I describe as a philosopher, on the subject. In fact, I’d gone to college with Ethan; he’d then gone on to work for SASSY magazine. (These days, he is one of the editors of the Wall Street Journal‘s weekend business and finance section, Exchange.) I also quote Alex Star, whom I didn’t know at the time — but whom I’d end up working with at the Boston Globe’s IDEAS section years later.
Why the image of Donald Trump here? I’m not sure!
