For those who’re like us, nestled someplace in your record of unattainable resolutions is maybe probably the most daunting of all: Grasp the artwork of the crossword. Begin the brand new 12 months with the problem of our first puzzle, with appearances by Maus, Leonardo da Vinci, Pantone’s divisive coloration of the 12 months, and our personal Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian.

Natan Final’s essays, poetry, and crossword puzzles seem in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Narrative, Los Angeles Evaluation of Books, and elsewhere. He’s at present writing a nonfiction guide about crosswords.
