The New Yorker Magazine, November 24 1986, the complete issue in great shape. Heidi Goennel illustrated the cover. This issue includes the Susan Sontag story "The Way We Live Now," which Wikipedia describes as "'The Way We Live Now' is a short story by Susan Sontag which was published to great acclaim on November 24, 1986 in The New Yorker. The story describes the beginnings of the AIDS crisis in the early 1980s, as the disease began to claim members of the New York cultural elite. The story is told entirely in the form of fragments of conversation, mentioned and whispered by numerous friends of an unnamed man who lies sick in a hospital bed. Although AIDS was new to many who read the story when it first appeared, "The Way We Live Now" remains a signature work in the literature of the epidemic."
The pages are crisp and clean, white without a hint of foxing, no writing, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded Very Fine; it was put away when brand new (along with many others we have) by an obsessive New Yorker collector from whom we acquired it, untouched since new until now. We have many other New Yorker issues from this once-in-a-lifetime collection, so if there is one you want that you don't see in our listings yet, please let us know.
