Chapter 773 The New Yorker

Blair's city now is New York, and he is very familiar with the New Yorkers.

When I take the subway to work, I will buy a book on the day this magazine is released to learn about the local characteristics.

The New Yorker is a comprehensive American journal of knowledge and literature, mainly based on non-fiction works, including reports and comments on politics, international affairs, popular culture and art, technology, and business.

In addition, some literary works, such as short stories and poems, as well as humorous sketches and comic works, will be published.

A must-read magazine for American high school students, many articles in the Sat exam are selected from here.

It was originally a weekly issue, but now it is published in 47 issues a year, with 5 of which are biweekly issues.

This is not a complete news magazine. What Blair likes most is the in-depth coverage of major events in the magazine on the United States, international politics and society.

In addition, there is a column called "Talks in the City" in this magazine that is very helpful for outsiders to understand New York. It is full of short articles about daily life in New York.

If you want to quickly integrate into this city, go buy a copy of "The New Yorker"!

The stories and comments in the New Yorker are the outlines set by people when chatting.

In the early morning when it was founded, there are two to three short stories in each issue, but in recent years, it has decreased to one article in each issue.

These themes and styles are diverse, including translations in addition to English creation.

Due to the magazine's strict height standards, being able to publish in "The New Yorker" is one of the highest honors in the English literature industry, and it is very likely that the author will become a hit.

Those writers who often publish works in the New Yorker are called New Yorker writers by the American literary community.

Including the mainstream literature master of 20th century Ann Beatty, as well as the Nobel Prize winner in Literature Alice Monroe, Haruki Murakami, Vladimir, Philip Ross, and Salinger, the author of "The Watcher in the Rye" who is known as the Canadian Chekhov. They are all contributors to the New Yorker!

It is conceivable how high its standards are.

Only more than forty short stories can be featured in the New Yorker a year, but the works I received were tens of thousands of submissions!

It would be a good thing if Artificial Intelligence could be really put on "The New Yorker".

But the difficulty lies in the number of words in this short story is moving towards the middle.

Other people’s short stories are really short, at most one or two pages are done!

But artificial intelligence is at least ten pages.

If you want to occupy so many pages on "The New Yorker", I'm afraid the editors there will not be willing to agree.

Even if Blair proposes to divide this article into two issues for publication, the other party may not agree.

Moreover, this is only more shocking when reading together. The transitions before and after require coherent reading to increase drama.

Blair knocked his head, as if Condé Nast, where the New Yorker is located, had a cooperation with Random House.

Some writers have compiled their short stories published on "The New Yorker" into a collection and handed them over to Random House for global publication and promotion.

Condé Nast Group is the most famous journal publishing group in the United States, operating a total of more than 120 magazines and 61 websites.

The most famous of them are "vogue", "gq", "Vanity Fair", "New Yorker" and "ired", which is known as the geek bible!

Many people don’t even know that most of the magazines they read are published by this group.

After Blair thought about it, he searched for the phone number in the company's internal database and called the New Yorker editorial department to inquire.

Originally, this job should have been done by the writer's agent, but it would not be considered the performance of Random House after all.

But Blair is now when he needs to win over Zhang Chu. Not to mention helping him call, there are even people who are working as a nanny!

"Hey, is it Susie Foster?" Blair asked with the phone receiver.

Suzy, who was working in the office, replied cheerfully: "Yes, it's me."

"I am Blair from Random House, and I am the editor of Zhang Chu. "The Da Vinci Code" was published by us."

Susie is in her forties. She is wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and she feels like she is not close to anyone.

Of course she had heard of the name of the book "The Da Vinci Code", and it is still on the New York Times bestseller rankings!

It has won the championship for 9 weeks in a row, but it was temporarily pulled down when the Christmas promotion was temporarily closed. Now that the Christmas New Year's Day effect has passed, it seems to be ready to launch an attack on the position of the 10th week champion again.

The New Yorker has also published a book review and an editorial about this book.

It’s one thing to know this book, and it’s another thing to believe that Blair is Zhang Chu’s editor.

Susie is not the kind of person who is simple-minded and believes whatever others say.

So he asked suspiciously: "So what's wrong with you making this call?"

Blair explained: "Zhang Chu wrote a short sci-fi story before, and the content is very good. Now he has found someone to translate it into English. We think this article is the most appropriate for the New Yorker, so we called to ask."

"Science fiction? Our magazine has also published this type of article, but the important thing is the content. Maybe you can give a letter of authorization and manuscript and we will process it."

"I fax it to you, how about it?" Blair made such a suggestion in order to prove his identity.

Random House is indeed a sign!

Even if the New Yorker claims to be a genre, theme, and author, sometimes this arrogant gentleman in the Upper East Side of New York will bend down for a convenient way.

"That can't be better!" Susie Foster gave a little spirit. "We are preparing for the second week of January. If the quality of the work is good, it will meet you in a few days."

"Ok, I'll send it to you now, please check it out!"

After Blair sent the fax, he secretly prayed, hoping that this robot version of the Adventures of Pinocchio could touch the hearts of New Yorker editors.

He has studied the kind that New Yorkers prefer. This magazine prefers exquisite ideas and likes to use commas, often including large numbers of plain drawings. The brushwork is usually accurate, calm and sober, but everything is over and not explained.

These are good at portraying the kind of well-educated middle- and upper-class white people who live a rich life but often fall into depression.

Either they are troubled by a marriage crisis or are in a thrilling or desolate extramarital affair.

What impressed Blair the most was the ending, which was the symbol of the New Yorker!

It is both elegant and frustrating, both ambiguous and meaningful.

There have always been rumors in the publishing industry that if the editor of "The New Yorker" chooses a certain article, he usually deletes the last paragraph before publishing it.

Now he was vaguely worried about whether the New Yorker would delete David and Cron's mother's warmth for the day.

Or the part where Monica, who has only one day of life, lie in bed and sleeps forever, the robot boy David falls into a dream with his mother, and Teddy also climbs onto the bed and snuggles together to delete it!
