Story
When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, he described it as a “comic weekly.” And although it has become much more than that, it has remained true in its irreverent heart to the founder’s description, publishing the most illustrious literary humorists of the modern era. This anthology gathers together, for the first time, the funniest work of more than seventy New Yorker contributors.

Story
A collection of humorous insights into important topics ranging from being targeted by annoying ads ("Nowhere to Hide"), to resorting to symbols when you've forgotten your words ("At a Loss for Words"), to figuring out what door that extra key opens ("My Extra Key"). Other essays examine how sitting is the new smoking (whatever that means) and why it is just so hard to focus when you have the attention span of a gnat.

Story
Michael Heide beschreibt mit "schönster Tag" eine besondere Begegnung an der S-Bahn im Haubtbahnhof, der er liebevoll den schönsten Tag des Lebens wünscht. Allerdings mit nicht unerheblichen Folgen.
Florian Hoffmann erzählt in seinem Text "Fruchtfliegen" mit überzeugendem Einsatz seiner Stimme, wie man die lästigen Obstbegleiter schnell loswerden kann.
Andrej Schindhelm gibt mit seinem Text "Warmluftfront" eine wunderbare Performance, die nicht nur heiße Luft verbreitet.
Jacinta Nandi lebt seit zehn Jahren in Deutschland. Sie macht herrliche Beobachtungen über die Merkwürdigkeiten der Deutschen, die sie in Ihrem Text "Beginners Guide to Deutsche Hobbys" zusammen gefasst hat.
Regina Mengel hat sich einmal intensiv Gedanken über Gedanken gemacht und kommt dabei zu einem überraschendem Schluss.
Andrea Meyer lässt Schauder über den Rücken jagen. Ihr Text spricht Bände: "Ich liebe dich zu Tode".
Luisa Joyce hat es geschafft, mit "Verlorengegangen" eine berührende Meldung zu schreiben, die zeigt, das auch kurze Texte sehr stark sein können.-

Story
The stark and inhospitable high-elevation landscape of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert may not be an obvious (or easy) place to settle down, but for self-professed desert rat Michael Branch it’s home. Of course, living in such an unforgiving landscape gives one many things to rant about. Fortunately for us, Branch—humorist, environmentalist, and author of Raising Wild—is a prodigious ranter.
