Praise for The Duplex Planet

“The tales of the Duplex are modern-day versions of Chaucer’s reports from the road to Canterbury; they resonate with a wry humor and a startling insight.”
– New York Times

“A shelter for the truly quirky remark, Duplex brings its odd, humorous and poignant sentiments to readers while avoiding a discomfiting divide between the laughers and the laughed-at. “
– Village Voice

“Conversations easily move into associative flights of fancy (and) the affectionate way they’re put together avoids any hint of condescension.”
– Chicago Reader

“If stand-up sociologist David Greenberger had his way, every school would post a sign reading, ‘When You Get Older Everything Will Be Different.’”
– Rolling Stone

“In this increasingly homogenized culture, any vein of eccentricity is a treaure indeed, and David Greenberger’s magazine, Duplex Planet, is pure gold. . . one of the shining lights of the underground/independent publishing movement.”
– San Francisco Weekly

“May I make a suggestion here? The next time you’re supposed to renew your subscription to Time or Ms. or U.S. News & World Report, don’t. Twelve dollars will buy you a subscription to The Duplex Planet. It may not be as timely as those other mags – indeed, these folks have a tendency to let a couple or five decades slip their grasp – but it’s a hell of a lot more human, twice as wise, and ten times more entertaining.”
– New York Press

“What’s really interesting to me is that with everybody (Greenberger) interviews, it’s not just another old guy. It’s absolutely the person.”
– Penn Jillette (in the Boston Globe)

“I’ve been subscribing to and loving The Duplex Planet and its residents for what seems like my whole life. I just can’t wait to find, one day soon, myself, spouting forth to David Greenberger on those very same pages.”
– Jonathan Demme

“Thank you for doing what you’re doing.”
– Studs Terkel

“The Duplex Planet is a marvelous magazine. I’ve been reading it for years and it’s also especially rich for those who, unlike me, have not reached Senior Citizenship.”
– Allen Ginsberg

“On first reading, this stuff seems merely hilarious. Then it grows on you and becomes strangely moving. Then the moving stuff seems funny, and the funny stuff seems moving. And finally, you’re stunned by the realization that we all live on Duplex Planet.”
– Matt Groening
