The New Yorker

This week's is a good one, with an essay by Ian Buruma (a sometime Bard professor) about the drama surrounding the new Grass memoir and his confession of being in the SS.
On the lighter side, there is also a new essay by David Sedaris involving more funny cultural and language barrier hijinx that happened in France. Strangely, it is not linked from the main New Yorker page but this direct link works for now. It's totally linked now.
