Pepper & Salt was founded by Frank Schwartz as a satirical periodical in the 1960s in New York City, which unfortunately became lost between his work as an English teacher, the age of digitisation and family, only to be found amongst other papers in February 2023 (the header is an example of one such papers that we have uncovered). His imagination, talent and wit as a writer is not only present in articles that he himself wrote for the paper, but in his numerous plays, articles on teaching and the odd political commentary.
One of my earliest memories is writing a poem with him and my grandmother that was inspired by my then kindergarten education and The Lion King. I can only hope that my writing has become more sophisticated since then, but it was this ability and love of writing that my grandfather shared with me that has brought me to this point and to Pepper & Salt. I am happy to be able to re-establish Pepper & Salt’s arts and comedy arm, and hope one day to bring it back to its satirical roots.
