    n+1 appeared in the fall of 2004, the brainchild of a group of writers working out of a small apartment. Intended to revive the leftist social criticism and innovative literary analysis that was the hallmark of the Partisan Review and other midcentury magazines, n+1 was a rejoinder to the consumerism and complacency of the Bush years. It hasn't slowed down since. n+1 has given us the most clear-eyed reporting on the 2008 crash and the Occupy movement, the best criticism of publishing culture, and the first sociological report on the hipster. No media, new or old, has escaped its ire as n+1's outspoken contributors have taken on reality TV, Twitter, credentialism, drone strikes, and Internet porn.Happiness, released on the occasion of n+1's tenth anniversary, collects the best of the magazine as selected by its editors. These essays are fiercely contentious, disconcertingly astute, and screamingly funny. They explore our modern pursuits of happiness and take a searching moral inventory of the strange times we live in. Founding lights Chad Harbach, Keith Gessen, Benjamin Kunkel, Marco Roth, and Mark Greif are featured alongside Elif Batuman, Rebecca Curtis, Emily Witt, and other young talents launched by n+1. This n+1 anthology is the definitive work of the definitive twenty-first century intellectual magazine.

    There are records of these kinds of people in ancient times, and we all know they are still alive and well today. But what we don’t know is what goes on inside their heads. Why would anyone kill for the sake of it? Why would someone that seemed so nice and so normal do such a terrible thing? What causes this kind of behavior? These and many more questions have flooded the minds of those that study criminal psychology for decades. If there was a way to know why they do what they do, it would be so much easier to counteract it. If there was a way we could prevent this from ever happening in the first place, we would all be a lot better off than we are now, trying to figure out what is causing this behavior. But now, with this book, you can get a glimpse inside the mind of a serial killer, and see why they are the way they are. There is a lot that doesn’t meet the eye, and these things could potentially change the way we deal with violent offenders forever. We could potentially treat the symptoms from the beginning and prevent another serial killer from ever entering the world. This book covers it all, from what is really going on and what caused it to how we can prevent it. This book is going to change the way you view violent offenders, and show you we really can make a difference. Read on to discover how you can be a part of the solution to this problem, and how we can end this kind of behavior forever.
