The New Yorker - January 12, 2026
The New Yorker - January 12, 2026 : The January 12, 2026, issue of The New Yorker opens the year with a deeply reported "Annals of Innovation" feature by Bill McKibben, who examines the unexpected hurdles facing the domestic solar industry despite record-breaking energy yields. This edition weaves together high-stakes political reporting and intimate cultural criticism, offering a profile of a reclusive Brooklyn-based sculptor transforming urban debris into high art, alongside an "On Television" critique of the latest satirical streaming hits. Readers will find a poignant new short story set in a near-future Venice, the trademark wit of "The Talk of the Town" covering the latest eccentricities of Manhattan's social scene, and a rigorous "Books" essay re-evaluating the legacy of mid-century feminist poets. Complemented by the magazine's iconic cartoons and a curated "Goings On About Town" guide to the winter theater season, this issue provides a sophisticated intellectual roadmap for the second week of 2026, balancing heavy global inquiries with the sharp, observational humor that defines the publication's legacy.
