In her inaugural note for the 'San Francisco Review of Whatever,' editor Elisabeth Nicula proposes a new local publication to capture diverse cultural experiences. Inspired by established literary reviews, she highlights the importance of print amid an internet-dominated fast-paced world, creating a thoughtful space for readers. The magazine features local artists, curators, and writers, focusing on genuine depictions of San Francisco life, transcending prevalent narratives. Contributors draw from unique local landmarks and experiences, seeking to offer a nuanced, authentic portrayal of the city’s vibrant culture.
"When I think about the internet, I think about monetization and feeds and the speed at which information has to move. That's not the speed at which I want to think. Print is creating a space where you can sit with something and be consumed by it instead of also having the distraction of whatever else."
"A big goal for me with this magazine is to show San Francisco as those of us who live here experience it. There’s these over-narrativized, usually hyper-politicized views of it, but there’s something very authentic and livable happening beneath all that - and also difficult."
