About The Satirist

Since 1999, millions of readers and web crawlers have read The Satirist “America’s Most Critical Journal”.

The Satirist  features original works of satire, parody, and “news”, fiction and poems, essays, as well as serious book reviews, movie reviews.

Contributors to The Satirist include professors from Columbia, NYU, and many other universities around the world, as well as professional writers and journalists for New York Times, LA Times, and other publications.

The Satirist is now widely used as an educational resource as assigned and recommended reading material by high schools and universities in many countries for its classic satire, literary criticism, fiction, essays, and film reviews.

Articles in The Satirist have been referenced in books, academic journals, and other publications, including The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Learning Channel, Grantland, Wikipedia, and the National Review, among many others.

The Satirist wishes it were The New Yorker, aspiring to lofty heights of wit, sophistication and perspicacity. While The Satirist does publish satirical news (like  The Onion), we encourage satire in its myriad forms (including poetry).

Satirical news, imaginary criticism, and genuine criticism happily co-exist on the website. However, these should all be easy enough to distinguish. “Imaginary review” is usually used to distinguish reviews of imaginary works from the reviews of actual books or films.
