Tilley's Lorgnette

[thedarkages]

The Summer Fiction issue of the New Yorker is out, and it has one -- one -- story by a new writer. Why not drop the pretense, and simply say that the magazine does not accept unsolicited submissions? It would save paper and money -- some teenage intern has to man the slush pile -- and spare the emotions of thousands of dupes^h^h^h^h^hwriters who mistakenly think they'll get a fair shake.

I don't do the New Yorker. The whole thing stinks.
Any good writing therein?
