Description

Astra Magazine is the new literary magazine of the moment, a must-read for anyone interested in the most vital contemporary literature from around the world. Astra Magazine connects readers and writers from New York to Mexico City, Lagos to Berlin, Copenhagen to Singapore and beyond.

Each issue contains prose, poetry, art and comics, artfully produced on silky smooth paper with luxurious French flaps.

It's the most covetable accessory of the fall — dark and playful, pretty and smart. The Filth issue features work by Elif Batuman, Sheila Heti, Raven Leilani, Aracelis Girmay, Samuel R.

Delany, Brontez Purnell, Wayne Koestenbaum, Clarice Lispector, McKenzie Wark, Mariana Enríquez, Safiya Sinclair, Maggie Millner, and many more. There is a moral element to filth. It is both what we have been taught to hide, and the subversive pleasure in revealing it.

Many of the writers in this issue are queer or trans or otherwise outsiders.

When you are taught that an intrinsic part of you is shameful, you find power in that shame.

All that filth, compressed by the pressure, sparkles like diamonds when it is let it into the light.

Have you ever felt the relief of telling your own secrets?

There’s a reason why people revel in their own filth.

It’s a place for revelling
