desertcart.com: The New Yorker : Magazine Subscriptions

Review: Not perfect, but still the best (updated) - Previously, I used to read the Economist but the writing wasn't very descriptive, and the opinions / predictions of the writers were vague (or depressingly pessimistic!). Overall, the New Yorker's style is precisely the opposite of the Economist. The writing is usually flowery and descriptive, showing you rather than telling you. Certain writers and topics can be hit-or-miss, however I am willing to forgive some excesses. The reason I favor the New Yorker is their coverage of economics, sociology, and current events. If I want to know what is happening on the ground in the Arab Spring, this is where I turn. If I want to learn something shocking overlooked tidbit of history, I open the New Yorker. For example, in the 7/25/11 issue, there are articles about the Freedom Riders, tiny houses, the value and purpose of going to college, and the world of hedge funds. These are the things I value; writing that challenges my beliefs and informs me, that isn't politically correct or afraid of offending. These main articles, which are the meat of the magazine, are why I read. As the the rest: the sports articles can be good, but it's hit or miss for me (not one of my biggest interests). The short fiction section can be good, but lately I've been skipping it due to lack of time. The theatre or classical music articles tend to be fawning and pretentious, full of name-dropping and obscure references. For people who are unacquainted with those topics, it amounts to a waste of space. It's not the topics themselves I'm disinterested in; for example, if someone were to write a biographical style piece on Mahler, then I can enjoy it because I don't need to know anything previously to enjoy it. Update Jan 2014: The cartoons have been getting better lately. Before I felt they fell flat a bit, but there's wittier material now. Definitely check out the magazine, and if you are interested in it long-term, call the CSR to get a discounted subscription. Look into Harper's as well, it's just as good writing.
Review: Still the finest magazine in America - Well-written, timely, erudite and down-to-earth -- no other magazine is as informative and varied in tone, or as much a pleasure to read. The "New Yorker" has a number of "beats" it covers -- contemporary politics, media, popular culture and art, humor, new fiction and a smidge of local, New York goings-on (not as much as in the old days, but the regionalism is still a delight.) Yes, other magazines cover these topics, but not in as accessible a manner. The "Atlantic" and "Harper's" tread similar paths, but they both seem overly stern and inaccessible by comparison. The "New Yorker" used to be incredibly fusty: since the magazine's 1992 facelift, courtesy of editor Tina Brown, it has a much lighter, more youthful tone. This, mixed with the erudite, well-researched, well-crafted writing, makes it one of the most rewarding reading experiences in America today. No matter what the topic, an article in the "New Yorker" will always be a shining example of language used to its best effect. Plus, I like the cartoons. (PS - I weary of the "three F" -- fashion, food and finance -- reporting, but even if they overdo these subjects, it's still a great magazine.) (DJ Joe Sixpack)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Magazine I Can't Do Without
*by B***Y on July 4, 2010*

Sometimes I wonder how I could ever get on without my copy of The New Yorker. Its coverage of literature, theater, art and movies can't be beat. I especially love going to their literature section. In their most recent magazine they had an article about David Mitchell and his books, The Cloud Atlas and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob deZoet. They have a wonderful cast of staff writers - think David Sedaris, Ian Frazier, Nora Ephron, HIlton Als - and it just keeps getting better. I love their choice of articles from the biopics to the myopics. They do stories on crime, culture change, culture, investigative reporting and it's al just plain GREAT. They also publish one short story a week and it's a stunner about 50% of the time. I could do without any magazine that I subscribe to except the New Yorker. Put me on a Desert Island with a few books and a regular delivery of theNew Yorker and I'll be a happy camper.
