Cross Magazine issue 3

Cross' Estate issue presents us with a rare opportunity to look back in order to proceed more swiftly and safely forward. For if an estate brings to mind an individual's property or possessions, it also drifts towards more immaterial concerns. As staunch secularists, we know of very few instances in life where a term gains in currency after one's death. The estate is definitely one of them.

When we think estate, we think executor. And when we think executor, we are no longer very far from the notion of a legacy. From the recent sale of Breton's estate to the legacy of the British ideal landscape, and what might have happened if the executors of certain estates had listened to the wishes of their respective decedents, our third issue is tempted to venture that an estate only comes into its own--gains its urgency--upon death.

Hediyeh Tehrani, the fiery Iranian actress the public cannot seem to get enough, is featured on the quadrifold cover of issue 3.
