About The Baffler

The Baffler is America’s leading voice of incisive and unconventional left-wing political criticism, cultural analysis, short stories, poems, and art. Founded in 1988 by Thomas Frank and Keith White as “the journal that blunts the cutting edge,” the magazine is currently edited by Matthew Shen Goodman and headquartered in New York. It prints five print issues annually and publishes online nearly every day of the workweek. The Baffler is owned by the not-for-profit Baffler Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.Read their story
