New Yorker 2009 Best Lists

12.19.2009

The New Yorker is more than flush with great critical writing. Well, this is a list of lists (some are decade-spanning, too) from those wonderful writers.

I’m trying to tell you it’s a dream come true. Get over there. Click around. Get lost for a few hours.

In fact, to encourage you, here’s my list of the ten best lists from the New Yorkers Best Of lists:

  1. The Best Films of the Decade, by Richard Brody
  2. Goings On About Town’s Best Off Broadway Theatre Shows of 2009, by Shauna Lyon
  3. The Best Recordings of 2009, plus annotations by Sasha Frere-Jones
  4. The Top Thirteen People of 2009, by Zachary Kanin
  5. The Five Best Ten-Best Lists, by Ben Greenman
  6. The Best Non-Museum Art Goings-On of 2009, by Andrea K. Scott
  7. Ten Great Photographs, 2009, by Vince Aletti
  8. Memorable Fashion Statements of the Obama Era, by Judith Thurman
  9. Ten Exceptional Recordings by Alex Ross
  10. Books of the Year, by James Wood

And that’s not even the half of it.
