new yorker and sudden illness article

[goatschool]

i've never touched this rag, i admit, until xfer mentioned it in his camping thread.

i had my reasons, and after picking up the issue with the hot dogs on the cover, i think they are more or less unfounded. although the 'tude borders on gimmicky.

but this isn't a thread about my (il)literacy, it is for the article pointing at the horse-writer woman who contracted chronic fatigue syndrome on the night her friend almost hit a deer (while she was in the passenger seat of his car), and she saw a shooting star (at the same exact time).

xfer, did you read this article? anyone?

 

[goatschool]

i apologize for this thread.

hmm no i missed a couple of new yorkers with my class, but i'm catching up in august; the one i did read is the july 28th edition, with a guy driving on the front?

 

[goatschool]

no no, i'm referring to the one with the hot dogs.

it's probably on my "to read" pile next to my bed. i'll revive this thread when i do!

 

[goatschool]

do. and toby needs to read it too, for some reason i think he'd find the opening few paragraphs interesting.
