Media Review: The Sun Magazine
About two years ago my wife and I received an ad in the mail from a magazine we had never heard of called The Sun. The description of the magazine sounded interesting enough -- Fiction, Poetry, Interviews, Essays, Memoires, True Stories. For one year's subscription -- 12 issues per year -- the price was US $36. I had never seen the magazine on any newstand. And I haven't looked for it in stores since we started receiving our initial subscription, so I really cannot say if it is easy or difficult to find. I can only say that it is worth hunting for. I will skip over the fiction, interviews and so on except to say that they are of a very high quality. What I want to rave about is a section that appears in every issue. It is called "Readers Write" and is usually about 8 pages long. This is the section both my wife and I turn to immediately when each new issue arrives. "Readers Write" has a different theme each month, and these are announced about six issues ahead of time and listed in the same section. Possessions, Deception, The Bedroom, Lessons, The Kitchen Table -- these are the kinds of subjects "The Readers Write" in an issue may be devoted to. But the kitchen table isn't about a piece of furniture. The letters are almost Tolstoyan in their depictions of life, happiness, anguish and love. There's no quibbling by some learned talking head about what some other learned talking head may have said about politics. There is only raw, real life, honesty and emotion. Many of the letters are anonymous, and filled with the sorts of admissions you wouldn't want your nextdoor neighbor to know. Month after month, these letters sent in by readers are about as moving as writing gets. If that doesn't make you hunt for The Sun, nothing will. If you read it, you'll become addicted. But it will be a kind of addiction that won't make you sorry. |
