The New Yorker magazine - Since 1925, the best in literary, arts, and cultural criticism.
Also, short stories, long essays, political criticism, hysterical cartoons, and some of the best investigative journalism ever put to paper.
The current issue features The Knocking, new fiction by David Means; and a Nancy Franklin preview of The Pacific, a 10-part miniseries from the producers of Band of Brothers.
Elsewhere, George Packer considers the President's failure to connect with ordinary Americans in Obama's Lost Year. And Nick Paumgarten looks back on Vancouver's Winter Olympics in The Ski Gods.
Anthony Lane reviews current cinema with Green Zone and Mother. And James Wood considers the novel in evolutionary form in reviewing Chang-Rae Lee's The Surrendered.
More to give it up for, of course, in the current issue of The New Yorker.
