What literary magazines publish subversive writing?
I am trying to find places that would be willing to publish more subversive/dry short stories. All the popular magazines seem to be extremely literary and probably not interested in my style.
So is there no hope? Are there any offbeat literary magazines out there?
My writing has been compared to the love child of David Sedaris and Jerri Blank, if that gives you a better idea.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Subversive, eh?
Sedaris, eh?

There's a ton. What mags have you been looking at?
A Lot of niche publishing magazines exist. The Idiot, The American Drivel Review just to name two that I know very well. They aren't widely distributed, but people do read them.
Believe it or not, looking for short story markets is actually one of the times I think the Writer's Market is really useful. They have a huge listing of Lit Mags. (I prefer Herman's for agents.)
The key with niche mags is to read at least ten back issues from the current editor. They have particular tastes that are easy to identify and play to. (In truth this is the secret to all short story markets. You write to the editor, not the audience. But what do I know?)
