This Sunday’s New York Times Book Review features on its cover a fine review of Jami Attenberg’s excellent The Middlesteins. Which is, we feel pretty confident saying, a terrific and well-deserved piece of news.

Earlier this year, Jami and The Gefilteria’s Jeffrey Yoskowitz talked pickles in our founding editor’s apartment. Seems like it’s been a good week for the participants in that video, given that The Gefilteria was just written up at The New Yorker. (For your convenience, we’ve embedded the video in question below.)
