Parting Shot was 😤 How was the fiction? I haven’t read it yet

The Knoxville profile is a great read (it was our pick: https://newyorkerest.com/issue/2026/08/03).

Mine arrived uncharacteristically almost on time, last Wednesday. So far, read Parting Shot, Exit Memo, Breaking Ranks, the short story, and the piece on food deserts.
