New Yorker

[Jeremy Osner]

Hi--

Apologies if this ground has already been covered; I've been off line
and off list for a week. The last New Yorker of 1997/ the first one of
1998 has several excellent things in it. To wit: Vladimir Nabokov's
review of "Speak, Memory" (which he refers to by its working title,
"Conclusive Evidence"); a short piece of historical fiction on Otto the
Bloody, by Ken Kesey; and a short story by George Saunders, author of
CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, twin brother (apparently) of David Foster
Wallace. And if that's not enough, Anthony Lane reviews "The Thin Red
Line", too.
