- James Wolcott enjoys drinks and highfalutin snacks with the next generation: Wolcott goes on the record with some Emdashes fandom: "Normally my policy is to discourage young talent (they only get in the way), but I make an exception for Emily Gordon, who has the elegant taste of someone from a more refined era, when the cocktails and conversation rapturously flowed, and a piano tinkled in the background." Naturally, they supped at the Algonquin, 'cause that's what the classy folks do. We're usually more down for Diet Coke and french fries, which must be why we've not heard from him yet. Or, you know, it could be this. [JamesWolcott.com]
- Your Complete New Yorker just got more complete!: Emily Gordon has the news. Hey, that Wolcott might be on to something. [Emdashes]
