Might magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Might was a San Francisco-based magazine founded in the early 1990s by Dave Eggers, who went on to describe the magazine's rise and fall in his bestselling memoir A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. With its name meant to suggest both "power" and "possibility," the magazine might be summarized as an effort by twentysomethings to say something instead of nothing. Might went out of business in 1997, but back issues are still available through the website of Eggers's philanthropic writing organization 826 Valencia.
