The Little Review, September 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 6)

This issue of a pioneering early‑20th‑century magazine reads like a collage of art, politics, and wit. The editor playfully advertises the publication as a “want ad” while the pages remain intentionally blank, inviting readers to fill the void with imagination. Interspersed with experimental verses and surreal sketches, the text jumps into a lively portrait of a woman who devotes herself to anarchist lectures, daily rituals, and even whimsical rides on insects.

The heart of the issue turns to the San Francisco bomb case, where a group of labor activists faces a harsh legal battle. Voices like Emma Goldman and Robert Minor argue for solidarity, fund‑raising, and legal defense, exposing the tensions between corporate power and dissenting workers. Listeners will hear the fervor of a moment when art and activism collided, offering a vivid snapshot of a turbulent era without revealing the eventual outcomes.
