Plus: The NHS; David Szalay; Repatriating Art
| Our January 15, 2026, issue is now online, with Susan Tallman on reluctant museum repatriations, Kevin Power on David Szalay’s bloke novels, Marilynne Robinson on the future of affordability, Jeremy Denk on Erik Satie’s gentle yet ruthless compositions, Helen Epstein on Uganda’s tyrants, Robert P. Baird on Ross Douthat’s impotent religion, Andrew Katzenstein on Maria Bamford’s mental comedy, Bill McKibben on carbon dioxide, Clair Wills on the NHS, poems by Joe Dunthorne and Maureen N. McLane, and much more. New York’s mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, plans to absorb individual costs into the collective life of the city, but whether that will be enough is an open question. A rare genetic mutation is best treated the nineteenth-century way, with bloodletting, showing the strengths and weaknesses of the NHS. David Szalay’s recent novel Flesh captures with unsparing accuracy the consciousness of an ordinary man in helpless decline. What does a fair policy of museum repatriation look like? A new book considers the issue in terms of human rights, cultural sovereignty, and stewardship. Special Offer
