January New Yorkers, con't

The 1/16 issue was pretty dull. The best thing was the "Your three wishes FAQ" in Shouts & Murmurs.

The missing issue (12/26 and 1/2/06) is in my possession, thanks to P&M; so far I've read and enjoyed "The Albanian Writer's Union as Mirrored by a Woman" by Ismail Kadare, an (you guessed it!) Albanian writer. This specialty issue (my feelings on that topic are known) is on International Fiction, so I'll be reading and commenting on that for a bit.
