    Saturday Evening Post?

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by SapereAude, Oct 2, 2021.

    Does anyone here remember an American weekly magazine called The Saturday Evening Post? It's the one that often (usually? always?) featured Norman Rockwell paintings on the cover.

    The magazine always included one or two short stories in each issue. My grandparents were subscribers, and as a youth I spent many happy hours during summer vacation lying on the window seat of their house in Maine, reading The Saturday Evening Post. For some reason, fragments of one story (and only one story) keep popping into my brain. I would like to find an anthology of all The Saturday Evening Post short stories from the 1950s to see if I might be able to resurrect and re-read that story.

    Does anyone know if such a collection exists?

    Just right of center.
    They're still around, and it looks like a $15.00 a year subscription includes digital access to all issues, from 1821 forward.

    Depending on how significant the fragments you remember, you can always post on Reddit r/tipofmytongue, assuming you don't know the name of the story and it was published elsewhere.
