2024 Year in Review

Our photographers went to the sea, the desert, Vietnam, and Los Angeles to capture intriguing scenes and subjects this year.

Our readers had questions about Disneyland, “California sobriety,” and Cybertrucks. Our columnists, Stacey Grenrock Woods and Gustavo Arellano had answers—lots of ’em.

Unwind with this collection of short stories from writers Dagoberto Gilb, Sylvia Brownrigg, and Lisa Teasley.

This year’s top reviews included titles by Danzy Senna, Rachel Kushner, Nisi Shawl, and more.
