3rd bed has come to an end. The end, like most ends, is not the intended end
but an end nonetheless. We leave you with this issue, the eleventh. The spirit
is still alive amongst the editors, the readers, the authors—most everyone, except
maybe the distributors and the creditors, though many of the later are also friends
and family. And while they no doubt want their money back, the decision to lend
was a vote of confidence, not so much in the sustainability of the project but in
its merit. The struggle between monetary and cultural capital is not an even match,
despite the noise about the importance of the arts, and it is one that we lost.
Next time we’ll come prepared.
All of us at 3rd bed are grateful to the authors who filled our pages and
to the readers who read them. You have made our work meaningful
and honorable. We were blessed to find such a sympathetic and
committed audience.
Thank you.
—The Editors |
