My friend guylaine pointed me that magazine during my last visit in montreal. I am skipping thru it since some days and i must say that i am really satisfied of my purchase (note here that i am really picky on buying magazines. They must contain at least 3 article that are worth for me to spend time and money on – something else than ‘why should a girl choose that makeup instead of another one’, and well, i just dont wear makeup anyway…).
I would give Utne 3 stars, for their interesting coverage of topics that matters to me (see “Our schedules, our selves – “…we are not living our lifes but merely following a dizzying timetable of duties. Where’s the luxurious leisure that decades of technological progress was supposed to bestow upon us?…), and their brilliant use of illustration thru all the magazine (see Katerine Dunn’s illustration).
