John Lichman is the Andy Kaufman of Journalism*, the Rorschach of Party Flirting** and physical manifestation of Joseph Campbell's embodiment of collective unconscious***. *Note: This was taken out of context based on a comment from Andrew O'Hehir; **Note: This was not taken out of context during a house party; ***Note: This is likely true. He also is the white Hong Sang-Soo. Take that as you will. And he co-hosts the podcast at The House Next Door.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store.
