Hello. I'm Christopher Gage. A ‘21st Century Swift’ or ‘So-called writer’ depending on your disposition.
About | Oxford Sour is a magazine of politics and culture.
Who reads Oxford Sour? Anyone who appreciates stylish writing, savage wit, rational thought, enlightenment values, and satirical flourish.

Here's what Oxford Sour readers say:
“A modern-day Swift…”

“Well-written, on-target commentary about current issues with a good dose of satire and humour. Only in my dreams do I write this well.”
*
“Here, in the great tradition of Swift, of Addison, of Steele, of Pope, of Mencken, is a writer’s writer.”
