It’s no secret that this homo-neurotic obsesses over Esquire. Since the publication of it’s first issue in the fall of 1933, Esquire has defined the modern gentleman–smart, sophisticated, ironic, and always progressive. Beyond what you’ll read/see in other men’s magazines, Esquire has featured some of the most influential, often literary, men in it’s pages. Earnest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, Ezra Pound, Truman Capote, Gay Talese, Gore Vidal, Norman Mailer, Tom Wolfe, Philip Roth, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., are only some of the men who’ve contributed to the success of the magazine. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the magazine, and in an era of new media, paperless communication, and failed publishing ventures, fingers crossed that Esquire will continue another 75 years of “Man at his Best.”
