Rita Leistner’s story on American women wrestlers is featured in the January issue of Max magazine. The Philadelphia-based wrestling organization GLOOW (The Glorious Ladies of Wrestling) collaborates with other organizations including WEW (Women’s Extreme Wrestling) to popularize women’s show wrestling in America. Everything is taped live for pay-per-view video, which is sold and broadcast world-wide. There is little money at this level of wrestling, where the women are attracted by the thrill of an audience and by the community of wrestlers. For most, the opportunity to be involved at any level of pro-wrestling is an American dream come true.

“The Hikikomori of Japan” by James Whitlow Delano was published in the January 15 issue of the New York Times Magazine. Hikikomori, which in Japanese means “pull away,” are generally young men who isolate themselves from the outside world, seeking shelter in their rooms often for years at a time. South Korea and Taiwan have reported a scattering of hikikomori, and isolated cases may have always existed in Japan. But only in the last decade and only in Japan has hikikomori become a social phenomenon.
