In the New Yorker...
Jeff Wrangler:
Over lunch today, I read the Sept. 19 article about the playwright Katori Hall. Imagine, she's got Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett doing her play, The Mountaintop, on Broadway!
As a fan of hats myself, I was charmed by the author's comment that Hall "doesn't shy from hats." ;D

Oct. 3 is one of the best New Yorkers in memory. I have already read Mindy Kaling's funny and true piece about romcoms, and Elizabeth Kolbert's review of Steven Pinker's book, which I've been interested in. Now I'm starting Atul Gawande, who is never not interesting, and looking forward to Clapinto and Collins. and will probably even read Thomas McGuane's fiction (read the opening, and it looks promising). Oh, and the Current Cinema is about two movies I want to see: Moneyball and 50/50.
Jeff Wrangler:
I gave up on Janet Malcolm's article (Sept. 26) on the guy who took the photo of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Boring. ...
I like the photograph, except that the color and fabric texture of the dress the queen is wearing reminds me of my La-Z-Boy recliner.

They were never known for being fashion icons, were they?
Monika:
Annoying. I can't pay to only access the magazine's web edition. It's not likely that people abroad will pay for the paper edition since the shipment would cost as much as the magazine itself.
