Call me a bubblelista - but I am so enjoying the latest issue of the New Yorker. I know I am supposed to be extending myself to think beyond my East Coast big city bubble and imagine and empathize with the middle of the country which voted Republican. Call me crazy, but I just want to curl up with New Yorker and relish reporting on Jane Austen's unpublished last novel; Catherine Opie's story of becoming a photographer and musings on lesbian domesticity; a description of a safe house in upstate New York, which revives the traditional underground railway routes for the current wave of immigrants seeking asylum in Canada; AND a story about Trump's hideous failed tower in Azerbaijan built in consort with corrupt oligarchs (surprise, surprise.) And cartoons!!
The news is ever present - TV, theTimes, radio, Facebook, endless articles and e-mails about the ACA, the EPA, the CBO, and on an on and it's all so depressing and unbelievable.
I want to live in a world where people love Jane Austen, lesbians can lead their married lives and our congress actually listens to what people want if even for a little while. Thank you David Remnick and the staff of the New Yorker. I give thanks for the free press and honest reporting when those at the top like to tell us "alternative facts" and to laugh about it. They laugh and phoniness has become normal.
