Pick of the Issue, our weekly selection of the best of each week’s issue of New Yorker (in other words, the pieces, cartoons, &c. we specifically recommend), has been on temporary New Yorker Festival-related hiatus, but will return soon for your reading pleasure. Meanwhile, what’s your pick of the issue this week?
