This is a book review of what began as a blog, Stuff White People Like by Christian Lander.

There are also some really valuable other articles in this issue. There is a run down on the government issues in Guinea, KDownfall the end of a west African dictatosship by Jon Lee Anderson, and a terrific article The Pink Panthers a Tale of Diamonds, Thieves and the Bakans about how crime in other countries is linked to the economic breakdown of Serbia and Montenegro. Also an excellent short story
by Ben Looney about a man who gives up on his job in favor of TV, which turns into his own reality show.
And last but not least, Think Small by Adam Kirsch, about "America's quiet poet Laureate" Kay Ryan (up to know I had not known anything about her.) ( )
