Heads-up!
Not just because it's Sunday and the magazine puts selected pieces on its website, with, sadly, a shelf life of just a week. That's important if you're too impatient to wait for the postman. Or, as in my case, you've been swallowed up by the subscription dept. and haven't seen a fresh issue in my mailbox for weeks.
While you're waiting, check out emdashes, 
a terrific and exceedingly generous blog by Emily Gordon, who's dedicated herself to explore where the emdash—a puncutation mark the length of the letter that serves an interstital purpose—goes, in this case, between the lines and behind the stories of The New Yorker.
emdashes is the place to go if you're wondering what the word "hirple" and other unfamiliar words mean in the Galway Kinnell poem, "Burning the Brush Pile," from the June 19 issue.
Or would appreciate the insiders account of how "Brokeback Mountain" went from an Annie Proulx NYer story to a MMP (major motion picture) and why you can't read it online.
Or, crave links to stories written by mag's regulars (or as one of our daughters at a much younger age referred to as "usuals) : Katherine Boo, Malcolm Gladwell, Rebecca Mead and others whose work reappears elsewhere online.
Like the best blogs, emdashes is fueled by obsession. "Like me, you read The New Yorker. With interest. Loyally, actively, critically. Ardently," says Gordon, an editor at Print magazine with an impressive freelancer's pedigree.
If, like me, you fit the profile, Gordon's obsession will give more than enough to satisfy your own in the emdashes between issues.
