Just in time for fall semester, n+1, the Brooklyn-based journal of prose combat, has a new line of T-shirts. (Hey, The New York Review of Books sells Illuminated Pocket Magnifiers, okay?)

While we're somewhat surprised they're not referred to as "Cotton Monuments," the shirts do come in two colors: socialist red and existentialist black. The Times A.O. Scott might say these unisex American Apparel shirts, "sometimes display a certain pained 21st-century ambivalence about the culture they inhabit." They're also limited edition and come in five sizes. ("Note: women may want to buy a size down.")

In case you're wondering, the shirts are modeled by writer Wesley Yang and managing editor Kate Perkins.
