Apology is a magazine, a podcast, a used-books shop, and sometimes a seller of bootleg shirts.
Apology the magazine features literature, interviews, essays, reportage, humor, photography, and art. It’s a general interest magazine for people whose general interests aren’t general. It comes out sporadically.
Apology the podcast features long interviews with various people about books, reading, and other things that come up.
Apology the used-books shop sells all categories and ages of books both virtually and at temporary physical manifestations.
“Apology’s content, a mix of fiction, literary nonfiction, photography and cultural reporting, ranges from the comedic to the arcane.”
“Jesse Pearson’s new magazine is distinctly (and unapologetically) his—a little odd, but in a likable way.”
“After fueling youth culture with an endless variety of vice, Jesse Pearson launches his higher-minded magazine, Apology.”
Apology was founded by and is edited and designed by the writer Jesse Pearson, who ran Super Deluxe’s online video stuff from 2015 until 2018, was the editor-in-chief of Vice magazine from 2002 until 2010, was an editor at the NYC culture magazine index from 1999 until 2002, and was a process server in New Jersey and Philadelphia from 1995 until 1998 (but only in the summers).
