Are certain subjects too taboo for lit mags?
"Taking a look at subjects that might be untouchable would seem to be important."
Welcome to our weekend conversation!
We probably know the answer to the question in this weekend’s title. Yes, some subjects are taboo. Nearly all literary (non-genre) magazines do not wish to see graphic violence. They do not want gore. No blood splattering the walls as people eat the brains of their farm animals. No bone chips floating in open wounds. No cannibalism. (Alas!)
