Content: Original critical essays on an iconic American periodical, providing new insights into twentieth-century literary cultureGBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup(['ISBN:9780748682492','ISBN:9780748682508']);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 twentieth-century history.Key Features: Eleven new perspectives on major American writers, including Roth, Cheever, Plath, and Updike, in relation to their first publication contextsReconsiders modern and contemporary American writing and periodical culture, focusing critical attention on commercially successful ‘smart’ magazinesDraws on new research in The New Yorker’s manuscript and digital archivesA distinctive combination of close critical reading and cultural analysis"

Content: Los Angeles-based painter Sarah Cain (born 1979) works on canvases of all sizes, often modifying them by cutting and braiding, painting on all sides and installing the canvas with the back of the painting facing the viewer. She also paints on other surfaces, including interior and exterior walls, floors and dollar bills. She uses vivid colors and shapes, and often includes found objects such as jewelry, pompoms, hula hoops and other items she has a personal attachment to. Cain's process often involves altering and disfiguring a composition until the original image is no longer recognizable. The creation and destruction of her paintings is part of Cain's process that, in part, revolves around self-discovery. Cain describes herself as a feminist painter, using elements that are traditionally seen as feminine and "girly" as an act of nonconformity and antipathy to the patriarchal hierarchies of painting. "Almost everything about Cain's paintings--their speed, their brashness, their noodling compositions, their splashes and spray-painted scribbles, their tacky accouterments, their sense of absurdity--seems to undermine the gravitas that large-scale painting traditionally projects," wrote Jonathan Griffin, in the New York Times
