Originally a small-press magazine run by Robert Wringham and friends between 2007 and 2017, New Escapologist featured wise and funny writing about work and the good life.
The magazine has drawn to a close but continues as an online essay series, a long-running blog, and a column in the Idler — not to mention a comprehensive back catalogue and a well-received book.
There’s also a brand new book in the works for 2019.
