These are original critical essays on an iconic American
periodical, providing new insights into twentieth century literary
culture. This collection of newly commissioned critical essays
reads across and between New Yorker departments, from sports
writing to short stories, cartoons to reporters at large, poetry to
annals of business. Attending to the relations between these kinds
of writing and the magazine's visual and material constituents, the
collection examines the distinctive ways in which imaginative
writing has inhabited the 'prime real estate' of this enormously
influential periodical. In bringing together a range of sharply
angled analyses of particular authors, styles, columns, and pages,
this book offers multiple perspectives on American writing and
periodical culture at specific moments in 20th century history.
Features: eleven new perspectives on major American writers,
including Roth, Cheever, Plath, and Updike, in relation to their
first publication contexts; reconsiders modern and contemporary
American writing and periodical culture, focusing critical
attention on commercially successful 'smart' magazines; draws on
new research in The New Yorker's manuscript and digital archives;
and, a distinctive combination of close critical reading and
cultural analysis.
