Paper Cuts

Since I can't afford a subscription, I occasionally stop by Borders(sorry DJ) to buy a coffee and read The New Yorker. Tonight, after first reading a David Sedaris article about buying weed in trailer park, I read this piece by Susan Orlean(Adaptation) about origami.

Read the article first before looking at the images. Amazing.

Well, now that I know you read the New Yorker religiously...

I would say that a good 95% of my conversation icebreakers begin something like this:

"Did you see that piece in the New Yorker about..."

Pieces we will have to discuss:

George Packer's latest piece on Iraq.

The piece on 24 and torture.

David Denby's piece on the next evolution of cinema.

The piece on how to watch football.

Milan Kundera's excerpts

Seymour Hersh's take on Iran.

Next post:
The New Republic

Synonyms for piece:
article
treatise
item
essay
submission
story
