IDENTITY
The only online image of this issue makes the date impossible to read, but it was being auctioned with a set from early 1978.
SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE
Anyway, what’s interesting is that this is the only shot in which this is the mag under the nightstand. In the shot before this, it was the Burda from the beginning of the movie, and in the shot after, it’s all magazines flipped upside down, and impossible to make out. So the REDRUM shot needed to have this shot of Outdoor Life in it (I imagine Stanley thinking). Why? Is it because of the cover story about being “so near to the Grizzly [he] had to pay for it”? Was it for the duck hunting ‘Isle of Shame’ (which, it turns out, is a reference to Tangiers Island, which might become America’s first climate change refugee island)? Was it for the article on “feeding deer to death”?
Given what’s about to happen with Jack (getting slashed by Wendy), and the correlation between Wendy and bears, the grizzly story seems the most likely.
Next literary reference: Bomber Pilot
