The 50s: A Decade in Review This anthology brings together iconic pieces from The New Yorker Magazine's archives, offering a unique perspective on the 1950s. Featuring contributions from prominent writers of the time, including Philip Roth and John Updike, alongside fresh analysis by contemporary writers. Classic works of reportage, criticism, and fiction are complemented by new pieces that shed light on the decade's complexities. The magazine's commitment to overseas reporting is highlighted through dispatches from East Berlin, the Gaza Strip, and Cuba, while coverage of American culture includes portraits of Thurgood Marshall and critiques of Senator Joe McCarthy. A diverse range of writing styles and subjects are represented, including poetry by Theodore Roethke and Anne Sexton, as well as insightful new pieces that examine the 1950s through contemporary eyes.
