I thought there wasn't anything in the Jan. 27 issue that would interest me. Then I took another look, and there seems to be quite a lot.
Jeff Wrangler:
I recommend the profile of Vivian Gornick in the Feb. 10 issue. I'd heard the name, probably, of course, in TNY, but I knew nothing about her. There is something in the article that I hope to comment on in my blog; it seems more appropriate there than in a post on the profile. I hope I can find the time to do it.

I haven't received my Feb. 17-24 issue, so I fear my subscription may have run out, and I might miss it altogether unless I buy it on the newsstand. But I've already seen, online, an article I'm really looking forward to reading, a profile of Yuval Noah Harari. I find that guy fascinating and his book Sapiens is my favorite late-night reading (genuinely engaging, surprising and entertaining -- and best of all, in no way connected to current events). I've now bought that book for myself (on Kindle) and two other people (in paper).
So we'll see ... hope the profile doesn't turn me against him somehow! He goes through all of homo sapien history to modern cultures, which is fascinating. But I have heard that he ultimately gets into human-AI things like The Singularity and usually that's where I bail. We'll see if he can keep me fascinated.
