Five Dials is a free, downloadable literary magazine published by Hamish Hamilton (UK publisher of McSweeney's) and featuring so far texts by writers and artists, old and new, including Noam Chomsky, Alain de Botton, Gustave Flaubert, Bob and Roberta Smith, Iain Sinclair, Jean Paul Sartre, Roger Deakin, Raymond Chandler and Jonathan Safran Foer.
some pretty great authors there, except Jonathan Safran Foer, of course.
thanks for posting.

There are no bells or whistles or hypertext or cyberdenouements
or flash-animated advertizements [...] hidden inside.
No cyberdenouements?

Boy, it really wants to look like McSweeney's all right.

"Distributed in Portable Document Format (PDF), Five Dials is best downloaded, printed out and enjoyed (we hope) away from the computer."
Oooh... the fancy online journal is too good to be read on a stinky monitor.... it's litch-er-a-toor...
I'll download and read it, but I'll be darned if I'm gonna waste the ink before I know if it's any good.
