New Escapologist is a magazine for white-collar functionaries with escape on the brain.
Drawing from philosophy, literature and original humour; we discuss practical escape routes from the present-day predicaments of demeaning work, status anxiety and urban lethargy.
Each issue is a compendium of funny and practical essays on the subject of escape. We promote freedom, anarchy and the absurd.
Issues 6-9. If you’re dedicated to Anarchy, Absurdity and to being an Escapologist, a four-issue subscription is a great way to show it. We’ll send our next four issues upon their release. Contact us if you’d prefer to start your subscription with a back issue. You’ll also receive a free gift. £24.
