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 17 August 2026 leads with Margaret Talbot’s profile of Chief Justice John Roberts’s delusions about his position on the Supreme Court. Plus Jill Lepore’s analysis of of how we might prove we are human and not bots, and a look at the work of end-of-life doulas.
Cover: ‘Midnight Bloom’ by Edward Steed
