The New Yorker ‘Journeys’ Issue Goes to China, New Guinea, Bengal
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 04.18.08 | 9:31 AM ET
As usual, The New Yorker turns to big-name writers for its Journeys issue: Jonathan Franzen, Jared Diamond and Caroline Alexander among them. Also as usual, several of their stories aren’t online. Two that are: Alexander’s journey through the mangrove forest of Bengal, and Paul Goldberger’s intriguing look at the architecture of airports. “The best new airports in the world right now are in Beijing, where Norman Foster’s Terminal 3 has just opened, and on the outskirts of Madrid, where Terminal 4 at Barajas, designed by Richard Rogers Partnership, has been in operation since 2006,” he writes. “Foster has achieved what no other architect has been able to: he has rethought the airport from scratch and made it work.” A conversation with Franzen about his trip to China is also online.
