Discussion Group for The New Yorker Magazine.
"Pulling The New Yorker out of the mailbox every week
is like getting a bouquet of civilization."
It's a "book club" for devoted readers of The New Yorker magazine.
Based in Santa Monica, TalkTNY, the New Yorker magazine reading group, gathers at a cafe or coffee shop to talk about recent articles and cartoons in the magazine. We usually choose between 8 and 12 pieces for discussion.
Meetings are held every other week, usually on Wednesday evenings.
"Week after week, The New Yorker offers its community of dedicated readers a unique perspective on current ideas and evolving issues: one that combines humor and intelligence with depth and style. Readers come to its pages to laugh, to be informed, to be surprised, to be moved."
