An exhibition of 60 years of the New Yorker opens today at the Victoria and Albert
Museum, London - a celebration of the distinctive art and graphic style of America's foremost literary magazine.
For six decades it has been the proving ground for writers like John Updike and J. D. Salinger and critics such as Pauline Kael. But last year the New Yorker's august tradition came under threat - from a new owner who appointed a new editor, only the third man to hold this post. Review went to
Manhattan to talk to some of the New Yorker's most distinguished contributors - John Updike , Ved Mehta , Jay McInerney and cartoonist Ed Koren about the magazine's unique place in American culture.
