A bimonthly magazine helping readers ‘to lead more fulfilled lives’ through idleness.
Dominic West is the star of this issue as he delves into his experiences filming The Wire, his love for theatre acting and the importance of downtime for actors. Usually overlooked day-to-day, The Idler goes into detail about the beauty of British red post boxes within culture, it's evolution overtime and how it's our responsibility to keep them alive. Also inside are essays on what life is like as a busker, why Stephen Bayley hates lobster alongside poetry and wellness tips.
