One of the few remaining pleasures of American culture is the weekly magazine The New Yorker, which this year is celebrating its 100th anniversary. When I was growing up, it was always fun when a new issue came in the mail – I mostly enjoyed the wonderful cartoons – and through the years it has continued to publish fine reporting, reviews, poems and short stories, as well as the inimitable cartoons, as many, if not most of its contemporaries, have disappeared from the proverbial marketplace of ideas. Anyway, as a subscriber for many years, the magazines have accumulated and so, as a small token of my appreciation, and a way to keep them from gathering dust and in circulation, I will be giving away a free issue to all customers at Andy’s Corner if and when they make a purchase. So come and peruse the piles on the table in the front room next time you visit us.
