Nadja Spiegelman is the author of the memoir I'm Supposed to Protect You From All This and several award-winning comics for children, as well as the co-editor of the 2016 project Resist! a free publication of women's comics and graphics. Previously the online editor of The Paris Review, she is now the editor-in-chief of a new international literary print quarterly, Astra Magazine.
"Astra is like a gorgeously curated jewel-box you can't wait to
unpack. Inside is one marvel after another: living, breathing works
of art and literature, some rendered in sparkling and loving
translation, all overflowing with life and thought and
consciousness of a shared moment in a world that has never felt
smaller or more rich. There is no other magazine like this."
- ELIF BATUMAN, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The
Possessed, The Idiot, and the forthcoming novel, Either/Or.
"Destined to shine brightly in the literary firmament, Astra
Magazine is here to remind us that we should always read and write
with a joyful disregard for borders of any kind."
- HERNAN DIAZ, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of In the
Distance and Trust
"Astra is the magazine we need right now. It's full of stunning
work from a broad range of voices, a magazine both intimate and
universal, in the way all good writing is."
- NATHAN ENGLANDER, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of For the
Relief of Unbearable Urges and What We Talk About When We Talk
About Anne Frank
"As a writer whose work is often difficult to classify, I am
attracted to Astra Magazine's agenda of publishing writers who
exist in the "inter," whose writing defies neat categorization. The
debut "Ecstasy" issue is stirring in its international orientation
& ambitious in its scope and content. "
- LAURA LINDSTEDT, Finlandia Prize winning author of Oneiron and My
Friend Natalia
"Astra Magazine is vital. As an American citizen born outside the
US, I am especially attracted to their idea of publishing writing
that rejects borders, and that a writer should not, can not,
represent an entire country. The first issue allows space for each
extraordinary writer to speak only for themselves."
- IMBOLO MBUE, Bestselling author of Behold the Dreamers and How
Beautiful We Were
