[fwiw: this is my all-time favorite magazine; "/Not everyone is
prepared for the stark reality in The Sun with its often poignant
writing and haunting black and white photographs. The whole magazine is
like an intelligent compassionate friend who perceptively articulates
your innermost thoughts and dreams/." Utne Reader awarded Safransky's
publication its Alternative Press Award, calling it "/a magazine
completely unlike any other, always personal, always meaningful, always
unexpected/."
"/Unfortunately, you're not likely to find The Sun at your regular
newsstand. Many distributors won't carry it because it's not
'commercial' enough: we don't carry advertising; and we regularly print
pieces that are too risky, too personal, too sad, too something. Yet
somehow the magazine finds its way into the right hands; readers who
appreciate writing that doesn't talk down to them or up to them, but
meets their level gaze/." editor, Sy Safranksy
