  • Questionable story choices

    Increasingly, after reading the New Yorker for 40 years, I find that these stories are almost deliberately written by young writers, without reflecting really any standards for plot, innovation, and delight. Too many of these stories are self-indulgent and reflect the lives of privileged people whose problems are quite frankly, boring. Too many of them are also coming out of the New York publishing system from writers who have connections or writers who have a novel coming out soon.

  • Unbearably mediocre

    Nearly every story reads like the journal entry of a depressed, self-absorbed woman. For the love of God, find a better fiction editor.

  • Hot take but

    The paywall demands that I listen to each episode within a week of its release. If I like an author I have to intentionally write their name down. These are not horrible things. I actually think they make me value the stories more.

  • Literary Packing Peanuts

    Once again, The New Yorker publishes Allegra Goodman to remind readers that fiction can survive without plot, stakes, or discernible purpose. The story is a slurry of banal dialogue and narrative stasis, mistaking inertia for subtlety and dullness for seriousness. It reads like styrofoam packing filler shaped into sentences: a plain, unsalted rice cake that absorbs time, ink, and paper while offering nothing in return—a total waste of the reader and the page.
