< 又被取悅 >

三不五時，就要被《紐約客》取悅一番，不管是精彩的各類寫實報導：人物、人文、藝術、醫學；深入「厚」出的書評；幽默的生活漫畫；還有，意喻豐富的封面。

1/20，美國新任總統就職，也是《紐約客》周一上架新雜誌時刻。冷不防，又被撩撥討好：新一期封面已做好，caption 是 “Two’s a Crowd” (by Barry Blitt)。討趣在於 ——> 違背傳統諺語的 “Two‘s a company, three’s a crowd.”

的確，總統整天出一張嘴，已夠「糟」雜，如果兩張嘴在發話，絕對夠煩。讓一個沒選票的人「站在總統身邊的高度」大放厥詞，很難不顯露美國民主衰落的根源。

Cover Story

This week’s cover artist, Victoria Tentler-Krylov, discusses moving to New York from St. Petersburg: “When I first moved to New York, my favorite thing was to ride the subway and just stare at my fellow-passengers. Sometimes I would sketch them. I still love to do that, and it’s a lot easier these days to get away with it, because no one raises their eyes from their phones.”

用創刊一幅漫畫 p.99，出自 "Genius in disguise : Harold Ross of the New Yorker" ，和最近一篇簡介 來慶賀

"Wages of sin" is an expression that refers to the consequences of sinning. It comes from the Bible, Romans 6:23, which says "For the wages of sin is death". 

19為了你們本性的軟弱，我且按常情來說：你們從前怎樣將你們的肢體當作奴隸，獻於不潔和不法，行不法的事；如今也要怎樣將你們的肢體當作奴隸，獻於正義，行聖善的事。

20當你們作罪惡的奴隸時，不受正義的束縛；

21但那時你們得了什麼效果？只是叫你們現在以那些事為可恥，因為其結局就是死亡；

22可是現在，你們脫離了罪惡，獲得了自由，作了天主的奴隸，你們所得的效果是使你們成聖，結局就是永生。

23因為罪惡的薪俸是死亡，但是天主的恩賜是在我們的主基督耶穌內的永生。

"Harold Ross - the brilliant, spirited, and lovably neurotic founder and longtime editor of the world's greatest magazine, The New Yorker - once warned a writer, "Don't waste your time and words on letters. You don't get paid for them." Fortunately, he didn't take his own advice (he wrote tens of thousands of letters), and so we have this amazing collection, which adds up to a virtual autobiography of Ross and an intimate account of the birth of The New Yorker."--BOOK JACKET

「哈羅德·羅斯——世界上最偉大的雜誌《紐約客》的創始人和長期編輯，才華橫溢、充滿活力、可愛又神經質——曾經警告一位作家，「不要把你的時間和文字浪費在信件上。你不會因為這些信而得到報酬。

"Genius in disguise : Harold Ross of the New Yorker"/Letters from the Editor:

In fact, as Mr. Kunkel presents it, the whole history of The New Yorker under Ross could be said to have been shaped by what the magazine was not. When the Depression and World War II arrived, it was accused of not being sensitive to social issues. With the onset of the cold war and the McCarthy era, Ross "sensed the modern world overtaking him." Still, he never stopped struggling to close the gap between his ideal and reality, and what was born as a humor magazine ended up reshaping American literature.

In Mr. Kunkel's treatment, this struggle can be seen for all its significance. Yet his book is always entertaining, and Harold Ross emerges in its pages more coherently than in any book before.

事實上，正如庫克爾所言，可以說，《紐約客》在羅斯領導下的整個歷史都是由這本雜誌所不具備的東西所塑造的。當大蕭條和第二次世界大戰來臨時，它被指責對社會問題不敏感。隨著冷戰和麥卡錫時代的到來，羅斯「感覺到現代世界正在超越他」。儘管如此，他從未停止為縮小理想與現實之間的差距而奮鬥，而這本幽默雜誌最終重塑了美國文學。

在庫克爾先生的論述中，我們可以看到這場鬥爭的全部意義。然而，他的書總是充滿樂趣，而且哈羅德·羅斯在書中的形像比之前的任何一本書都更加連貫。

Letters from the Editor: The New Yorker's Harold Ross (Modern Library Classics) Paperback – 2001年 1月 23日

These exhilarating letters—selected and introduced by Thomas Kunkel, who wrote Genius in Disguise, the distinguished Ross biography—tell the dramatic story of the birth of The New Yorker and its precarious early days and years. Ross worries about everything from keeping track of office typewriters to the magazine's role in wartime to the exact questions to be asked for a "Talk of the Town" piece on the song "Happy Birthday." We find Ross, in Kunkel's words, "scolding Henry Luce, lecturing Orson Welles, baiting J. Edgar Hoover, inviting Noel Coward and Ginger Rogers to the circus, wheedling Ernest Hemingway— offering to sell Harpo Marx a used car and James Cagney a used tractor, and explaining to restaurateur-to-the-stars Dave Chasen, step by step, how to smoke a turkey." These letters from a supreme editor tell in his own words the story of the fierce, lively man who launched the world's most prestigious magazine.

這些令人振奮的信件由羅斯著名傳記《偽裝的天才》的作者托馬斯·庫克爾挑选和介紹，講述了《紐約客》誕生的戲劇性故事以及它早期的動盪歲月。羅斯擔心一切事情，從追蹤辦公室打字機的情況到該雜誌在戰爭時期所扮演的角色，甚至擔心在“城中熱議話題”中關於歌曲“生日快樂”的具體問題。用庫克爾的話來說，我們發現羅斯「斥責亨利·盧斯、教訓奧遜·威爾斯、引誘約翰·埃德加·胡佛、邀請諾埃爾·科沃德和金格爾·羅傑斯看馬戲、哄騙歐內斯特·海明威——向哈波·馬克思賣出一輛二手車，向詹姆斯·卡格尼出售一輛二手餐館，並解釋一輛二手餐廳蔡森老闆。這些來自一位最高編輯的信用他自己的話講述了這位創辦了世界上最負盛名的雜誌的兇猛、活潑的人的故事。

標題：“讓我們去 Trans-Lux 並向羅斯福發出噓聲！” / 彼得·阿諾。

創作者：Arno，Peter，藝術家

創作/出版日期：[1936]

媒材：1 幅畫：墨水筆、水墨畫和不透明白色； 48.5 x 36 公分（紙張）

摘要：漫畫展示了一群中年社會名流，衣著暴露（可能是為了參加化裝舞會），提議去當地劇院觀看羅斯福總統的表演。彼得·阿諾 (Peter Arno) 描繪紐約咖啡館社會的漫畫在《紐約客》上刊登了四十多年的主要內容。儘管羅斯福在大蕭條時期深受美國一般民眾的愛戴，但他卻遭到許多保守派上層階級的恨意。 Trans-Lux 是紐約一家頗受歡迎的劇院，專門放映新聞片，經常播放總統的電影。

• Title: "Let's go to the Trans-Lux and hiss Roosevelt!" / Peter Arno.
• Creator(s): Arno, Peter, artist
• Date Created/Published: [1936]
• Medium: 1 drawing : ink brush, ink wash, and opaque white ; 48.5 x 36 cm (sheet)
• Summary: Cartoon shows a group of middle-aged socialites, rather scantily dressed (perhaps for a costume party), proposing to go to a local theater to hiss President Roosevelt. Peter Arno's cartoons depicting New York cafe society were a staple in The New Yorker for more than forty years. Although Roosevelt was immensely popular with the American common people during the Depression, he was cordially hated by many members of the conservative upper classes. The Trans-Lux was a popular New York theater that specialized in newsreels, which regularly featured the President.

Since Inauguration Day, as President Donald Trump has sought to break the federal government, Christian leaders—tangling with Trump and, particularly, with his Vice-President, J. D. Vance—have wound up in a public dustup over the nature of charity. The dispute was brought into view when, during a prayer service at the National Cathedral, Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, D.C., asked Trump to “have mercy” on people made fearful by policies he had vowed to enact: the mass deportation of migrants and the curtailing of legal protections for gay and trans people. “On immigration, her plea reflected something like a consensus position,” Paul Elie writes. Soon after Bishop Budde challenged Trump, several Catholic bishops put out statements of a similar character. “The statements were strikingly temperate, but they were too much for J. D. Vance,” Elie writes. Vance alleged that the U.S. sends “hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars abroad to N.G.O.s that are dedicated to spreading atheism.” But framing the raid on U.S.A.I.D. “as pro-religion ignores the fact that the agency is a robust supporter of religious relief groups,” Elie writes.

自就職日以來，由於唐納德·特朗普總統一直試圖打破聯邦政府，基督教領袖們與特朗普，特別是與他的副總統J.D.萬斯發生爭執，最終因慈善的本質而陷入公開爭吵。這項爭議之所以引起人們的關注，是因為在國家大教堂舉行的祈禱儀式上，華盛頓特區聖公會的主教瑪麗安·埃德加·巴德請求川普「憐憫」那些因他誓言要實施的政策而感到恐懼的人們：大規模驅逐移民並削弱對同性戀和跨性別者的法律保護。 「在移民議題上，她的請求反映出類似共識的立場，」保羅艾利寫道。巴德主教向川普發起挑戰後不久，幾位天主教主教也發表了類似的聲明。 「這些聲明非常溫和，但對於 J. D. Vance 來說卻太過分了，」艾利寫道。萬斯指控美國「向海外致力於傳播無神論的非政府組織提供數十萬納稅人的錢」。但對美國國際開發署的突襲卻被框定為… 「因為宗教信仰者忽視了該機構是宗教救援團體的堅定支持者這一事實，」艾利寫道。了解更多有關移民和慈善事業爭議的資訊（教會幾十年來一直透過美國國際開發署管理這一爭議）：https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/v_lKQJ

Genius in disguise : Harold Ross of the New Yorker / Thomas Kunkel.

Kunkel, Thomas, 1950-c1995.

Harold Wallace Ross (November 6, 1892 – December 6, 1951) was an American journalist who co-founded The New Yorker magazine in 1925 with his wife Jane Grant, and was its editor-in-chief until his death.

親愛的讀者，

《紐約客》本月將迎來創刊一百週年，這是我們期待已久的一個非凡時刻。一百年前，我們的創始編輯哈羅德·羅斯和他的妻子簡·格蘭特在阿岡昆酒店和其他市中心場所一邊玩撲克牌、吃著流質午餐，一邊構思出所謂的「漫畫報紙」。一百週年紀念特刊今日完整版僅供我們的訂閱者閱讀。在書中，我寫到了這本雜誌的歷史，從它不祥的開端（當時因為一個災難性的牌桌之夜而幾乎整個雜誌都倒閉了），到它逐漸發展成為一個融合了幽默、藝術、深度報道、評論文章、詩歌和小說的不可言喻的混合體。

本期雜誌共有六個封面，每個封面都對 1925 年創刊號上出現的標誌性人物尤斯塔斯·蒂利 (Eustace Tilley) 進行了不同的詮釋。此外，Kelefa Sanneh 還談到了《白蓮花》的創作者 Mike White；尼克·波姆加滕 (Nick Paumgarten) 講述禿鷹的飛行； 《Educated》的作者 Tara Westover 的一篇感人的新文章；亞當·戈普尼克 (Adam Gopnik) 探討了歐內斯特·海明威與《紐約客》記者莉蓮·羅斯之間的關係，許多讀者認為，莉蓮·羅斯撰寫了一份對這位著名作家的嚴厲批評的個人簡介。我也很高興推出一個雄心勃勃的新系列“Takes” - 我們的作家和其他人撰寫的關於《紐約客》中改變他們生活的故事的短篇作品，我們將全年出版這些作品。

探索週年紀念特刊

這是我們全年為紀念百年華誕而出版的四期雜誌中的第一期，但我們的慶祝活動遠遠超出了雜誌本身。在線上，您可以找到與週年紀念日相關的所有事物的集中地。這裡是了解雜誌的創始編輯、作家和藝術家的地方；探索特別策劃的故事集；觀賞雜誌製作藝術大師班；仔細閱讀正在進行和即將舉行的慶祝過去一百年的活動；並購買特殊商品。我也很高興我們正在對《紐約客》的完整檔案進行數位化，這個計畫將把數千期舊刊轉換成可搜尋的文章。

未來幾個月還會有許多令人興奮的現場活動和其他特別慶祝活動，我們會隨時向大家通報，但我特別期待由奧斯卡獎得主馬歇爾·庫裡執導的一部關於該雜誌的紀錄片，該片將於今年晚些時候在 Netflix 上首映；紐約公共圖書館的大型展覽；並出版了兩本新選集：《紐約客的一個世紀小說》和《紐約客的一個世紀詩》。

立即訂閱並加入我們的慶祝活動

自創刊以來，《紐約客》一直致力於深度、嚴謹、精湛和準確。享受我們屢獲殊榮的作品並確保我們能夠繼續為子孫後代提供這些作品的最佳方式就是訂閱。您將無限制地存取我們的新聞通訊中的報導、評論、批評和小說，以及卡通、謎題、遊戲和僅限訂閱者的福利。

Dear Reader,

The New Yorker celebrates its centenary this month, an extraordinary moment that we’ve been anticipating for some time. It’s been one hundred years since our founding editor, Harold Ross, and his wife, Jane Grant, dreamed up what they called a “comic paper” over poker games and liquid lunches at the Algonquin Hotel and other midtown haunts. The 100th Anniversary Issue is available in full today exclusively to our subscribers. In it, I’ve written about the history of the magazine, from its inauspicious beginnings, when the whole thing nearly folded because of a disastrous night at the card table, to its emergence as an ineffable blend of humor, art, deep reporting, critical essays, poetry, and fiction.

We’ve published this issue with six covers, each featuring a different interpretation of Eustace Tilley, the iconic character who appeared on the very first issue, in 1925. Inside, we have Lawrence Wright on an order of nuns who visit women on death row, Burkhard Bilger on American marching bands, and Jill Lepore on the letters of New Yorker writers and editors. Plus, Kelefa Sanneh on Mike White, the creator of “The White Lotus”; Nick Paumgarten on the flight of the bald ibis; a moving new essay from the author of “Educated,” Tara Westover; and Adam Gopnik on the relationship between Ernest Hemingway and Lillian Ross, the New Yorker reporter who wrote what seemed to many readers to be an excoriating Profile of the famous author. I’m also thrilled at the launch of an ambitious new series called “Takes”—short pieces by our writers and others on the New Yorker stories that changed their lives, which we’ll be publishing throughout the year.

Explore the Anniversary Issue

This is the first of four issues dedicated to the centenary that we’ll publish over the course of the year, but our celebration goes far beyond the magazine itself. Online, you’ll find a single home for all things relating to the anniversary. It’s a place to learn about the magazine’s founding editors, writers, and artists; explore specially curated story collections; watch master classes on the art of making the magazine; peruse ongoing and upcoming events celebrating the past hundred years; and shop for special merchandise. I’m also thrilled that we are in the process of digitizing The New Yorker’s complete archive, a project that will transform thousands of our back issues into searchable articles.

There will be many exciting in-person events and other special celebrations in the months ahead, which we will keep you informed of, but I’m especially looking forward to the release of a documentary film on the magazine, directed by the Academy Award winner Marshall Curry, which is set to première later this year on Netflix; a major exhibition at the New York Public Library; and the publication of two new anthologies: “A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker” and “A Century of Poetry in The New Yorker.”

Subscribe today and join our celebration

From its beginning, The New Yorker has been devoted to depth, rigor, craft, and accuracy. The single best way to enjoy our award-winning work, and to insure we can continue to deliver it for future generations, is to subscribe. You’ll get unlimited access to our reporting, commentary, criticism, and fiction, plus cartoons, puzzles, games, and subscriber-only benefits in our newsletters.

Thank you, as ever, for reading.
