"She's been trying to angle herself as a serious figure in literary fiction recently - she even got a glowing profile in The New Yorker suggesting that she should get a Booker prize."
"The most famous literary magazine of all time. Elizabeth Bishop, JD Salinger, Truman Capote, James Baldwin, Mavis Gallant, Bourdain's 'Don't eat before reading this', so many legendary stories, debuts, writers, time pieces. Now we get headlines like 'Are Grown Ups Just Giant Kids?'... It's filled wi"
"I get having nepotism for some bullshit like Teen Vogue or whatever, but these magazines hold serious sway over public discourse and they're all staffed by people who follow the exact same 'parents have blue links on Wikipedia' -> NYC metro area prep school -> Ivy League pipeline."
"Most people don't read, and when they do its celebrity memoirs or bottom-of-the-barrel romance or crime novels. The types of books that get reviewed in The New Yorker and discussed here are incredibly niche even amongst people who read."
"In an essay on literary culture earlier this year, Savage noted the extraordinary fact that as of that writing, 'not a single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.'"

"I have recently purchased an esoteric bookshop totebag and am enjoying lording it over the Daunt's, Shakespeare & co, and New Yorker totes. I stand and tremble at the sight of the Criterion Collection Janus Films tote."
"I couldn't care less if she says something cringe in a new yorker profile or whatever."
"The recent new Yorker article is one of the fairer representationa of them and it's worth a read imo."
"I can't stand the New Yorker and the Atlantic anymore. Beyond the popular (and correct) criticism that they pander to whatever social or political paranoia of the day I find them so consumer orientated and materialistic and soul crushing."
"After the Cuban dude moved in his crackwhoor and her little seven year old boy, and all three of them spent all day in the bedroom because there were gang problems outside, and the kid ripped the cover off one of my new yorkers, my other ex-Judaic catholic convert roommate freaked out and kicked the"
"It's to the point that I literally blocked all social media (YouTube, this site, etc) on my phone after a certain amount of time. In desperation, I bought an annual subscription to the New Yorker and I am now addicted to reading articles."
"I went to an inner city Hispanic high school so it made me feel special. I had a teacher who grew up extraordinarily wealthy (Stanford graduate family, private school education, coastal California city upbringing) and we got really close and talked about it everyday. I used to think Borowitz was kin"
"However, the New Yorker finally wrote an article raising a vast array of doubts about the case, with experts around the world also chiming in.

"The liberal media (NPR, The Washington Post, MSNBC, The New Yorker) make certain of this."
