Should I really be devoting so much time to a single publication? And an American one, to boot?
keeps me from reading many other things, it has given me a taste for topics I might otherwise overlook.
Over the years, I have learned about the abuse of civil forfeiture in the United States, the illegal collecting of rare bird eggs in the U.K. and lithium mining in Bolivia. I have learned why DNA testing doesn’t always work; how e-mail travels in cyberspace; and how blockchain technology works.
For an American publication, The New Yorker can pay unexpected attention to Canada. Some of its best-known contributors have Canadian connections, including writers Adam Gopnik and Malcolm Gladwell, and author and illustrator Bruce McCall. The magazine has championed the work of some of our country’s best short-story writers including Mavis Gallant and Alice Monro. It has profiled well-known Canadians such as NHL player P.K.
Some time ago, I encountered a neighbour in my building as we were both fishing the latest issue of The New Yorker“You have no idea!” I replied. I am heartened to know I’m not the only slowpoke as I continue to chip away at my pile. At last count, 16 weeks of back issues were waiting to be read. When I finally get through them, another 16 weeks’ worth will be waiting still. My fate is sealed. For as long as I read The New Yorker, I will be pushing that boulder up the hill. But unlike Sisyphus, I will enjoy it, every page of the way.
