In the New Yorker...
Front-Ranger:
Is anyone reading the fiction this issue, "Bronze" by Jeffrey Eugenides? Going back to the early 1970s. . .

Haven't got to that yet. I might read that because of the author's name.
Right now I'm reading Michael Chabon's article. I recognize that name, too.
Front-Ranger:
I read his book Middlesex, which was pretty good. This story, I'm not so sure of but at least it reads at a good clip.
Front-Ranger:
I was doing some research on the writing of Frankenstein 200 years ago and read this marvellous article by Jill LePore:
Twisted Life of Frankenstein
Then, when I came to the end of it, I found out it's in the NEXT issue of The New Yorker! So, I'm actually ahead on my NY reading! I don't want to make a habit of that, though.
Front-Ranger:
I'm about to delve into forbidden territory yet again! There's an article about Penzey's CEO who mixes politics with spices and I may not be able to resist!
Meanwhile there's a funny article in McSweeney's (I think it's like the NY) about alternatives to resting bitch face:
