This is ‘The Fiction Issue’ for 8 June 2026, centring stories about familial relationships. Alongside teasing Jonathan Franzen’s new novel, the issue also features a translated short story on girlhood by Annie Ernaux and, in a long-form feature spanning 12 pages, Peter Hessler opens up about a crime that has haunted him since childhood. Elsewhere, Sam Knight profiles FIFA president Gianni Infantino ahead of the upcoming World Cup, and David Remnick pays tribute to Donald Newhouse—co-heir to the Condé Nast media empire—following his recent passing.
Cover story: ‘The Secret Life of Books’ by Sergio García Sánchez and Lola Moral
