...but which *aren't* the infamous Ben Marcus experimental-fiction smackdown on Jonathan Franzen (which Patrick already had
a few words about) [
excerpt]. I'll have some words about that myself later. I just wanted to give a shoutout to the whole magazine, which is one of the better
Harper's I've seen in a while, with excellent essays on the inevitable (and, yes, already fully underway) abuses of the
Kelo eminent domain decision and Zadie Smith's oeuvre, as well as two short pieces from Margaret Atwood. Unfortunately I can't link to any of these things, because for reasons known only to them
Harper's hardly puts anything online.
