This episode of The Dig is brought to you by our supporters at patreon.com and by Nplus1 magazine,

which features some of the most urgent and exciting political writing, essays, fiction,

and cultural criticism on the left today.

This November, the magazine has been hosting Bookmatch, its annual virtual fundraiser.

In exchange for a donation of any size,

as little as $1, N-plus 1 will make you a personalized reading list of 10 books based on your

answers to a sort of personality quiz. The books come recommended and blurbed by a host of great

writers and thinkers, including

Astra Taylor, Vivian Kornick, Nikol Saval, Rachel Kushner, and many more.

N-plus-1 is not just an amazing magazine. They can read my mind and stare into my soul.

Try it yourself before November 30th and help support N-plus-1's ambitious and risk-taking writers.

You can find the quiz at N-plus-1Mag.com.
