The December/January issue is published, and can be read online. Articles include John Banville on the birth and development of pulp fiction - a new genre "that sought in the gritty seams of American life a fresh moral code, one that made sense for hard times and harder people." Wendy Lesser on Tomasi de Lampedusa, and Peter Brooks on the letters of the young Henry James. To read this issue click the cover illustration on the top left of the home page.
