Slightly Foxed is a quarterly magazine that introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal. It’s more like a well-read friend than a literary magazine.
What grabbed us about this issue.....
This issue moves between quiet comfort reads and books that look a little closer at other people’s lives. We kept coming back to Kate Hubbard’s essay on Phyllis Rose’s Parallel Lives, which peeks behind closed doors at five Victorian marriages. If you’re into Orwell, you might enjoy Samuel Saloway-Cooke’s piece on Coming Up for Air and its nostalgic hero, George Bowling. It’s also worth a look if you’re after something gentler, as Martin Williams explains why Rosamunde Pilcher’s September is such a comforting read.
Who is Slightly Foxed for?
Slightly Foxed is one for when you want a slower, more considered approach to finding your next read. Each piece offers plenty of background on its subject before the book itself comes into view, so you arrive at the recommendation having already built an appetite for it. This would suit you if you enjoy longer-form reading and like to dip in and out rather than read cover to cover.
Type: Long-form read for a quiet moment
