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 24 & 31 August 2026 leads with Rachel Aviv’s harrowing report on Nobel Prize-winning American paediatrician and virologist Carleton Gajdusek, examining both his scientific and later-discovered criminal legacy. Plus, Eric Klinenberg on the redesign of European cities in the wake of record-breaking heat waves, and a look at Rachel Cusk’s new novel ‘Life of M’.
Cover: ‘Before the Plunge’ by Diana Ejaita.
