[fusion_dropcap boxed=”no” boxed_radius=”” class=”” id=”” color=”#003366″]T[\/fusion_dropcap]he current\u00a0New Yorker<\/em> magazine is one of the handful of two-week issues they release during the year, meaning that this would normally be an off-week. However, this week it’s more “on” than it has been in years. Instead of letting us all take a week off, they have published an online-only novella by one of my favorites: Paul Theroux.<\/p>\n

So don’t rest! Usually when I print these out they run between 10-15 pages, but this sits at a healthy 39, so there’s work to be done, and I hope it all pays off!<\/p>\n

You can find the story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please comment below. I’d love your thoughts on\u00a0The Vanishing Point<\/em> and Theroux in general.<\/p>\n
