Every year, we receive thousands of calls and requests for articles in The New Yorker’s archive. The most interesting requests, of course, come not from congressional offices or research institutions but from everyday readers who are moved by a particular story or article and want to pass it along to a friend. Over the years, certain pieces have proved so overwhelmingly popular that we often keep digital or paper copies on hand. In the last two weeks, we’ve gone back through our records and refamiliarized ourselves with the pieces that have demonstrated such enduring appeal to our readers.
Seymour M. Hersh’s “Torture at Abu Ghraib"
Laura Hillenbrand’s “A Sudden Illness”
Elizabeth Kolbert’s “Climate of Man"
Calvin Trillin’s “Alice, Off the Page”
Bernard Lewis’s “The Revolt of Islam
Jerome Groopman’s “A Knife in the Back
David Grann’s “City of Water"
Adrian Nicole LeBlanc’s “Landing From the Sky"
Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Naked Face"
Annie Proulx’s “Brokeback Mountain"
Includes brief description of each article and a link to the full text.
The most requested issue of the past decade is the September 11th commemorative issue, which featured a twenty-page report on the attacks by David Remnick and the editorial staff, and which was published in the issue of September 24, 2001.
