I read this excellent article by Michael Lewis in the print version of Portfolio. Then I looked at it online. The online version was much better: It had reader comments.
When will The New Yorker online follow Portfolio‘s lead and allow comments? Comments on fiction should be especially interesting.
I suppose I’m especially sensitive to this issue. Spy had a regular feature called Letters to the Editor of The New Yorker. (At the time, The New Yorker did not publish reader letters.) I wrote two of them, here and here.
