THE NEW NEW YORKER utilizes no subscriptions. Send no money. Your
first issue is free, the others depending on how bad is your need. We
envision hungry literae lining up with hungry eyes, waiting for their
New Yorker connection to cut them deals. "Hey, dese tings gotta come
all de way from New Yauk, man," he tells them, swiping dreds from his
steely gaze. We envision literae, black berets in-hand, tapping their
feet every time they think they hear that gleaming New Yorker truck
coming down the alley... |
