Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will leave office in September 2024, concluding his popular—and controversial—six-year tenure at the National Palace. Riding on a wave of progressive achievements that include a minimum wage hike and reducing income inequality, his Morena party successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, is forecast to win the June 2 election by between 25 and 30 percent.
Sheinbaum’s reputation as a “continuity candidate” may give her the edge, but she’ll also be inheriting her predecessor’s thorniest political battles. In … Read more
Through the online platform Queering the Map, stories of queer Palestinians can live on forever, asserting to the world that they do, in fact, exist.
As Israel’s attack on Gaza carries on, Palestinian history is being ripped from existence. Entire family trees are being uprooted and scorched. This kind of annihilation doesn’t just harm the physical body of a people; it attacks their ability to pass on their knowledge, their stories, their
Louise Glück, who contributed poems to The New Yorker for half a century, died on Friday. We’ve gathered reflections on her life and work from writers and poets who knew, read, and studied with Glück.
In the fall of 2005, I signed up to take Louise Glück’s writing workshop. At our small liberal-arts college, Professor Glück cut an intimidating figure. My classmates and I knew it was a privilege to be in her company. The Nobel was still more than

Eagles co-founding member Randy Meisner is being remembered by former bandmates after he died at the age of 77 Wednesday.
The Eagles said on their official Facebook page Meisner died from complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The biggest series in Test cricket begins next week when the Ashes gets under way at Edgbaston.
But there will be one significant absentee following the tragic death last year of the greatest bowler of them all and latterly a huge personality in the commentary box in Shane Warne.
Three of the people who knew him best – former England captain Nasser Hussain, former England coach David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd and managing director of England cricket Rob Key – came together
In 1987, when I was at university studying English literature, Martin Amis came to town for a reading and signing at the student bookstore. He was a literary celebrity, this being an era in which those two words could be juxtaposed without irony, and we undergraduate fans were so numerous that—in my memory, if probably not in actual fact—some of us, finding no chairs available, resorted to sitting cross-legged at his feet, like eager children in a kindergarten class.

When I started out as a magazine writer, Janet Malcolm was my idol. She still is.
The writer’s job is, in the immortal words of Howard Cosell, to “tell it like it is.” In her writing, Janet is always completely focussed on understanding what is really going on. She is also completely unsentimental. She is uninterested in flattering her subjects or her readers. She pulls the cover off. Even when she is describing, she is dissecting. I feel that this
