KINFOLK (Quarterly): Vol. 39
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Adolescents are in a crucial period of life, a time of immense cultural destructive power, contributing significantly to the imagination of humanity as a whole.
Adolescence remains a time of rosy memories, a time when we briefly believed that a vast future lay ahead.
But the reality facing young people today is by no means easy.
Page 114 features an interview with Elise B. Olson, the 21-year-old editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Wallet.
In the 138-page fashion pictorial "Embarrassment," we explore situations that weren't meant to be funny but ended up being hilarious, like when you accidentally showed up to a party wearing the same clothes as your friend.
Bestselling young adult novelist Nick Stone put it beautifully:
“I want my readers to know what the world is really like, but I also want them to know that they can decide for themselves how they go about it and what they believe about themselves.” Kinfolk #39 tries to balance the naive optimism of youth with the sobering realities of growing up when the world doesn’t unfold as you’d hoped, but rather feels like it’s shrinking.

Publisher's Review
Large, emotionally stimulating photographs, ample margins, simple and sophisticated fonts, and small episodes of everyday life…
Kinfolk is different from traditional magazines filled with photos of models in flashy outfits and dense advertisements.
Rather than promoting the value of luxury goods, they deal with the simple stories of life in a new way.
'KINFOLK' means relatives or close people.
In Portland, Oregon, a diverse group of writers, farmers, photographers, designers, chefs, florists, and more have begun sharing their inspiring stories.
Many people who are fascinated by this have gathered here, and now it has become a large community, and even a new word, 'Kinfolk', has been coined, making it a cultural phenomenon.
Kinfolk Issue 39 focuses on the glorious period of adolescence.
In 'Notes to Me', we look back on the complex and nuanced growth periods of the people we love.
It is also a letter written by the six people who participated in the last interview to their teenage selves.
Tour a Provençal castle painstakingly restored by designer Pierre Jovanovic, sip wine with sommelier Grace Mahari, and meet internet comedy queen Eva Victor.
In short columns and longer essays, Kin Folk examines the season's defining questions.
Why are late-night talk shows no longer funny? Is it okay to turn your child into an Instagram influencer? Why are all the milk cartons printed with slogans that look like they were written by a second-rate comedian? Bea Olsson, a Norwegian "successful Gen Z entrepreneur," says:
“If I were to give advice to myself back then, I would tell myself to work harder.
“Because I have nothing to lose.”
