An Editor's Burial: Journals and Journalism from the New Yorker and Other Magazines by David Brendel

3.0

As a glimpse of a personally curated collection of Wes Anderson’s favourite parts of the New Yorker, this is exactly as promised. As an effective anthology, it leaves something to be desired. For this piece to have its full effect as the first, a more conscientious narrative of Anderson’s thoughts would have been needed. Shamelessly, I was taken in by the promise of a guided journey through someone’s passion and instead got a shtick meant to capitalise on curiosity inspired by the movie. Ah, well.
