Bruno's Weekly: 1916 Greenwich Village Underground Magazine

Bruno's Weekly. ed. Guido Bruno. Vol. II, No. 19. May 6, 1916. Stapled Sextodecimo softcover, 18 pp.

Bruno's weekly, whose tagline "Edited by Guido Bruno in his Garret on Washington Square" foreshadowed Fuck You Magazine's "Edited by Ed Sanders in a Secret Location on the Lower East Side", circulated within the same New York countercultural little-magazine scene, fifty years earlier. Its concerns are both literary – with work by Oscar Wilde, Frank Harris (see "Theory & Praxis" and "Ephemera"), Richard Aldington,  and local history articles on the Greenwich Village nieghbourhood, and an article bout the explosion of underground literary magazines across the country. There are articles and ads from Thomas Edison's Little Thimble Theatre, apparently a movie theatre run by the magazine's editor; Edison may well have funded the little pamphlet.
