Split was, in part, a tribute to the magazine Doppelgänger, which had just ceased publication after a ten-year run under the editorship (successively) of Ronny Kaye, John Benson, and Jamie Meyers. Because Doppelgänger had been known for its finely-crafted non-fiction (as well as fiction), including the Filmstück and Musikstück review columns, we thought it would be a fitting homage for three of us who had been associated with the magazine to write reviews about a film, a novel, and a record album called Doppelgänger(s).
