DR. GAWANDE, WHO ARE YOU WEARING TONIGHT? The Oscars of the magazine world (National Magazine Awards) and food world (James Beard Foundation awards) were presented Monday night. (On Saturday, the Beard awards for books, journalism and other media were also presented.)

  1. New York has really been on fire these past few years, with a nice eclectic bunch of columnists (Andersen, Leitch, Heilemann, etc.) a fun and readable front of book, solid reviews, interesting features, and consistently solid cover design.  Now, I'm not sold on the new "Turn half the magazine over to Frank Rich once a month!" concept, but we'll see how it goes.

    I know I've said this before, but the resulting Best American Magazine Writing volume that gets published every Fall is always, always, always worth the price of admission. Just an essential collection.

  4. Good calls on Gawande and Hitchens.  I hope and expect that David Grann's "A Murder Foretold," from the April 4 New Yorker, will be a very strong candidate next year (assuming it was ineligible this year).  One of the best New Yorker pieces I've read in a long time.  http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/04/04/110404fa_fact_grann

  5. (Though I would love to discuss it with others who read it, I'd like to avoid spoiling it for others.)
