Each issue picks one object to explore through science, art, literature and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat grabbed us about this issue...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue's focus is on mirrors, reflecting on the fashions and cultures of the everyday object. We loved the cinema piece about the use of mirrors in films and what they represent, like in \u003cem\u003eShowgirls\u003c\/em\u003e (1995) and \u003cem\u003eBlack Swan\u003c\/em\u003e (2010). There's more fiction in the form of two short stories, one being the classic myth of \u003cem\u003eEcho and Narcissus\u003c\/em\u003e, one of the most iconic uses of reflection in literature. Or if fashion and history is more your thing, this issue looks into the use of mirrors in clothing from ancient times and how that has translated into modern day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is \u003cem\u003eMacGuffin\u003c\/em\u003e for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor curious minded people interested in a range of topics from the creative to the scientific, \u003cem\u003eMacGuffin \u003c\/em\u003eis a well rounded magazine.
