Apology is a new quarterly magazine of art, fiction, games, humor, essays, interviews, investigative journalism and photography. Founded and edited by former Vice magazine editor-in-chief Jesse Pearson, Apology is inspired in equal measure by the golden ages of The New Yorker and Esquire; by 1980s punk zines like Sick Teen and RE/Search; by the Encyclopedia Britannica and The People s Almanac; and by MAD magazine. This inaugural issue includes stories by and with Tim & Eric, Lesley Arfin, John Ashbery, Arthur Bradford, Bill Callahan, Frederick Exley, Johanna Fateman, Rivka Galchen, Christy Karacas, Paul Maliszewski, Sam McPheeters, Chelsea Peretti, Gwendoline Riley, Aurel Schmidt, Mattathias Schwartz, Ian Svenonius, Gus Visco, Jamieson Webster and more; plus photographs by Jimmy de Sana, Roe Ethridge, Jerry Hsu, Richard Kern, Ryan McGinley and Terry Richardson, among others. Jesse Pearson was the editor-in-chief of Vice magazine for eight years (from 2002-2010).
