'The Hairpin' Archive
An ongoing project
This is an ongoing alphabetical list of articles from the site for making into pdfs, generated from your requests:
Most of the following links appear to be gone from the strange crunching jaws that have taken the place of The Hairpin, which currently attributes the iconic post "Laughing Alone With Salad" to a probably fictional guy named James Nolen, not Edith Zimmerman, which is why we are doing this. Many but not all exist on Medium, where The Awl group transferred its content on shuttering.
Longtime fans of this set of web sites you will know that there is a LOT to sift through and that there is a smaller set of legendary texts specifically published on The Hairpin that are privately cited all the time and everybody should get to read. Nor is Medium without its certain concerns.
You are welcome to also email contactthestopgap@gmail.com if you have the original copy or pdf of your own entry.
