The author has read The New Yorker a lot. Some captivating details, made irrelevant at the end of the paragraph.
- gverrilla 5y agoThis style is very funny indeed. Sometimes it's used in my language (pt-br) aswell on some articles (probably because they bought the piece from reuters or something and translated). It's very strong in writers like Gay Talese, who take it so serious they even DRESS the style LMAO
- incrudible 5y agoI can't imagine anyone actually reading these articles in 2021. I'm pretty sure most people buy the New Yorker to put it on the coffee table, because of the decorative covers.
