United Airlines’ Rhapsody magazine features the likes of Joyce Carol Oates and Anthony Doerr. All you have to do to get a copy is pony up for a first-class ticketWould you like to read a new monthly luxury lifestyle and literary magazine, crammed with articles about theatre, art and fine dining, and original essays and stories by the likes of Joyce Carol Oates, Emily St John Mandel (whose novel Station Eleven was a finalist for the National Book Award in fiction last year), Pulitzer prize-winning Anthony Doerr and Rick Moody (author of The Ice Storm)? With an unpublished story by the late Elmore Leonard in its June edition? You would? Well, too bad! You can’t!

The authors provide them with copy and a certain... Continue reading at 'The Guardian'
