Every month, The New Yorker’s fiction editor, Deborah Treisman, hosts a reading and conversation with a well-known writer. August 2009 featured Joshua Ferris reading George Saunders’s “Adams.” The rhythm is magnificent.

It’s perfect, but they forgot to mention the hockey, which is organized mayhem with a bunch of guys pretending to chase a puck!! Who needs baseball, anyway? And for fun, they play football with 12 guys a side (again, it’s fuzzy, “socialized” math they were taught). They even have people there who think they’re French, until you talk to them and realize it’s 17th century French, about as useful as Chaucer’s English and much harder to understand.
