That's what Michael Specter wants to know in this week's New Yorker. The article isn't online, but an an interview with the writer is.

The answer is yes.

UPDATE: There's a looks-to-be-good "Personal History" by Jonathan Lethem in the magazine this week too, also offline-only. I don't have time to read it at the moment, so I'll just say that Men & Cartoons, which I'm halfway through, is already the best collection of short stories I've read since my Tobias Wolff kick of late 2002. (Honorable mentions go to George Saunders and UNCG's own, no-longer-banned-from-campus-for-life George Singleton.)

Pretty good week for The New Yorker. Kudos. Though I haven't seen the story this week, and if it's poo, it'll ruin everything.
