Note to readers

Welcome to a special year-end issue of The Week.

Welcome to a special year-end issue of The Week. For the first time, we have expanded on the year-end features that we used to squeeze into our last regular issue, and given them their own home. We hope they’ll provide some reading pleasure for our loyal subscribers in the lull between Christmas and New Year’s.

In this issue, we take you on a (not entirely nostalgic) tour of the year in news and business. We select some of the best achievements in books (both novels and nonfiction), music, art, and food. We’ve also curated three great longer reads that we found in our exhaustive reading of newspapers, magazines, and websites. All of it, of course, is spiced with a bit of fun.
