The New Yorker brings you international current affairs, comment, fiction, reviews, humour, and goings on, from a New York angle every week. All leavened by a healthy dose of cartoons.
This issue for 12 October 2026 leads with a report by Nicholas Lemann, delving into California’s upcoming vote on Proposition 40 which—if passed—would impose a one-time five percent wealth tax on billionaires in the state. Elsewhere, Jonathan Blitzer condemns ICE’s impunity, and Inkoo Kang reviews Zoe Kazan’s TV adaptation of John Steinbeck’s epic novel ‘East of Eden’.
Cover: ‘Lapdog’ by Peter de Sève.
