Dear reader, In a world where American culture tends to dominate, it’s easy to find quite by accident that one’s reading diet is composed almost-entirely from American sources. While there’s much fantastic writing coming out of the US, we at The Browser believe that a varied diet for reading is just as important as a varied diet for eating. Despite being a team of five people, we span 3 continents and 4 countries. One of our editors lives in the north of England, the other in the south of India. (Our readers, meanwhile, span 147 countries). And in their quest to find five outstanding pieces of writing every day, our editors go above and beyond to seek out pieces from international publications that you wouldn’t have read otherwise. In recent weeks, Browser subscribers have read fascinating pieces on the contradictions of India’s wedding culture, the similarities between Finnish and English, and Japan’s greatest escape artist. There’s wonderful writing coming out of the US, of course, and we’re happy to recommend it. There are individual high-quality publications (though perhaps not as many as in yesteryear) where every piece they publish is almost certainly of high quality. But if you only read those magazines, you’re missing out on the wide world of writing in every possible sense. And now more than ever, understanding the world beyond America’s borders feels crucial. Doing things this way isn’t easy, but at The Browser we’ve never believed in doing things the easy way. Our editors spend countless hours every day reading the widest variety of sources to only bring you the very finest morsels. If you’re willing to support this important work, please consider becoming a paid subscriber today. You will get recommendations for five articles (the free edition has two), a podcast and a video in the daily Browser, plus special editions on Saturdays and Sundays – guaranteed to bring you a rich, stimulating and varied reading diet. Browse the world with us. Best,
Uri
