Read these!
My end-of-2011 best reads list:
1. “Hare’s Mask,” by Mark Slouka from Harper’s
2. “Years of My Birth,” by Louise Erdrich from New Yorker
3. “The Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” by Paul Ford from The Morning News
4. “The Republic of Curtis,” by Urban Waite from Massachusetts Review
5. “The Love Act,” by Chaz Reetz-Laiolo from Raritan
6. “The Kill Team,” by Mark Boal from Rolling Stone
7. “When Patents Attack,” from This American Life
8. “I Walked with a Zombie,” by Hamilton Morris from Harper’s
9. “The Other Place,” by Mary Gaitskill from New Yorker
10. Matt Taibbi. (Not a piece, I know, but all of his writing from Rolling Stone this past year has been outstanding and very important).
