New Yorker readers know that the magazine’s content is very strong. But if proof is needed, check out the January 13, 2011, issue of The New York Review of Books, which contains four New Yorker-related articles:
• Sue Halpern’s “How Do We Know What We Know?” – a review of Oliver Sacks’s book The Mind’s Eye, which is primarily a collection of pieces published over the past few years in The New Yorker;
• Christian Caryl’s “Why WikiLeaks Changes Everything” (“Raffi Khatchadourian on the New Yorker website speculates that the aim of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange ‘is not to reveal a single act of abuse …, but rather to open up the inner workings of a closed and complex system, to call the world in to judge its morality’”);
• Gordon S. Wood’s “No Thanks for the Memories” – a review of New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore’s The Whites of Their Eyes: The Tea Party’s Revolution and the Battle Over American History;
• Dan Chiasson’s “‘Rude Ludicrous Lucrative’ Rap,” which refers to Kelefa Sanneh’s “now-classic New Yorker piece on Jay-Z [“Word,” December 6, 2010].”
