I actually do remember reading that one. I thought it was quite good.
Jeff Wrangler:
While I don't ordinarily read the short fiction, I did read Alice McDermott's short story in the Aug. 24 issue, and I recommend it.
I wonder if it's somehow excerpted from a forthcoming book?
Jeff Wrangler:
I'm not following the statistics in Malcolm Gladwell's Aug. 24 article, but the take-away I am getting is that for a lot of poor people, it was actually a Good Thing to be forced out of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina.

Goodbye to Oliver Sacks. I really enjoyed his writings over the years. :'( :'(

I had no idea Oliver Sacks was that old.
Meanwhile, I really enjoyed Elif Batuman's Aug. 31 article on archaeology in Istanbul. Imagine! People were farming on that site as early as 6000 B.C.E.! And their footprints were preserved!
