I think I’m beginning to get an idea for who John McPhee is and his style of writing. So far, I’m a fan.
I like his well-researched, descriptive style. Whether or not I’m reading it the way McPhee would like, I’m not sure, but I don’t get hung up on the references I’m not familiar with. I like the room to research later if the article interests me.
Aside from the article on geology, everything I’ve read so far appeals to my personal interest, and I still even enjoyed the way the geology article was written.
I’ve also never given “The New Yorker” any thought before this class, but now I’ve subscribed to the website’s RSS feed. Just in time to get a few articles on J.D Salinger actually.
