We are a small group of writers and designers who are long-time subscribers to the New Yorker. When the magazine arrives at our doorstep each week, we read the Talk of the Town section first - and not just because it is in the front. It is also because we adore the section's tone, subjects, and treatment. We adore them so much our spouses have started to worry and we've even submitted pieces to the TOTT ourselves. From there, well, it's just a short jog to the Silence of the City, a site dedicated to publishing stories once rejected by the Talk of the Town. Think of SOTC as an extension of TOTT, just with a different acronym and much less famous writers. The journalist Carl Bernstein (Garfunkel to Woodward's Simon), recently said: ' The wisdom of the ages cries out for silence.' We say: Amen.
