  • New Yorker Articles

    Search online if you haven’t read these three amazing New Yorker articles which I think may all be by Remnick: 1. Our Man in Pyongyang, an extraordinary feature on a rough and tumble Newark Diner owner who developed a friendly relationship with the North Korean regime. 2. A profile of Gari Kasparov called The Tsar’s Opponent. 3. A profile of Dick Schaap’s cousin Phil who was the greatest Jazz expert in history.
