Christmas at the New Yorker: Stories, Poems, Humor, and Art The New Yorker
Publisher: Random House Publishing Group


Out of the pages of America's most beloved magazine come eighty years of good cheer and inspiring emotions for the holidays-plus the occasional comical coal in the stocking-in one incomparable collection. Sublime and ridiculous, sentimental and searing, Christmas at The New Yorker is a gift of great writing and drawing by literary legends and laugh-out-loud cartoonists. Here are seasonal stories, poems, memoirs and more, including such classics as John Cheever's 1949 story, Christmas is a Sad Season for the Poor, about an elevator operator in an exclusive building who experiences the fickle power of charity . . . James Thurber's 1927 satire, A Visit to Saint Nicholas in the Hemingway Style ("It was the night before Christmas. The house was very quiet. No creatures were stirring in the house. There weren't even any mice stirring. The stockings had been hung carefully by the chimney. The children hoped that Saint Nicholas would come and fill them.") . . . and Richard Ford's acerbic and elegiac 1998 story, Creche, in which an unmarried Hollywood lawyer spends a wistful holiday with her sister's estranged husband and kids. Here, too, are S. J. Perelman's 1936 Waiting for Santy, a playlet in the style of a Clifford Odets labor drama (the setting: "The sweatshop of Santa Claus, North Pole") and Vladimir Nabokov's heartbreaking 1975 story, Christmas, in which a father grieving for his lost son in a world "ghastly with sadness" sees a tiny miracle on Christmas Eve. And it wouldn't be Christmas-or The New Yorker-without dozens of cartoons by Addams, Arno, Chast and others, or a virtuoso Roger Angell carol or two ("Toss down a warm noggin with/Lauren Holly, Beverly Cleary/Christopher Reeve, and Timothy Leary.") From Jazz Age to New Age, E.B. White to Garrison Keillor, these works represent nearly a century of wonderful keepsakes for Christmas, from The New Yorker to you.
