‘Slow down. Have fun. Live well.’
A bimonthly magazine helping readers ‘to lead more fulfilled lives’ through idleness.
On the front: a classic cat illustration by Victorian artist, Louis Twain, as this issue of The Idler emphasises that we must 'Be More Cat!'. Inside, Kathryn Hughes writes on cats being the ultimate idlers; Miranda Sawer celebrates The Prodigy's song 'Firestarter' permitting her Dionysian yearnings; Griff Rhys Jones loathes fine dining and more.
On the Journal:
‘Tom Hodgkinson launched The Idler in 1993 as a celebration of loafing, taking the name from a 1758 essay by Dr Johnson… ‘Every man is, or hopes to be, an idler.’
