Editor David Remnick must be smoking the PCP: the New Yorker has spread open its hoary yearning mailbox to the unwashed members of the writing public. In a letter printed at Romenesko, a sharp-eyed reader — one Mr. Ben Yagoda, if that is his real name — notes that for the first time in two years the magazine no longer issues a disclaimer against unsolicited submissions.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare your SASEs.

One should note that the New Yorker's website still says that "The New Yorker does not accept unsolicited submissions by mail or by fax," but the site does provide email submission contacts. So modern!
