In some ways, I feel like I live in "The New Yorker" more than I live in the physical NYC.
I no longer subscribe, because I found the latest issue tended to arrive several days AFTER it's appeared on newstands - not that I pass by newstands as often as I did prior to 2020. 😢
But it's no exaggeration to say that cultural treasure, conceived around the Algonquin Round Table, has had a *huge* influence on my writing style, AND my view of the world!
Yours is the second newsletter I read to have mentioned The Sisters Brothers this week. What are the odds of that? I remember liking it but barely remember it.

Yeah, and it's one of the few magazines that supports long-form journalism. Sometimes we need to pay someone to go figure shit out.
When I was getting it more regularly, I would immediately find at least a couple of articles that immediately fascinated me.
Then, I'd go back to the items in which I had only marginal interest - or so I thought.
Finally, the articles I would ignore in any other publication. But even those impart something of value!

Well it's not deep. It's entertainment, but well crafted. What I need right now.
I adored THE SISTERS BROTHERS, which I first consumed in audiobook format and loved so much I had to read it in print. The audiobook is *wonderful*.
I'm not much for audiobooks, but I may make an exception here. It begs to be read aloud!
