Fiction Issue
@NYerFiction “New fiction by Sally Rooney, in The New Yorker’s annual Fiction Issue.” Back in the corner newsstand days, the AFI was a lot of fun. I miss dead tree magazines, and decided to go out and get a copy. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
Barnes & Noble is still open on Perimeter Center W. The bookstore aroma that greets you is the same. The price is going to be ridiculous, but it is time for a foolish extravagance.
The periodicals were against the western wall. I looked carefully in every section, but did not see TNY. A second examination of the magazine rack yielded the same result.
A lady said that some magazines were in a rack by the front. In the second rack we perused, TNY was for sale. The cost was $8.99, before tax. It was not the annual Fiction issue.
