It's a running joke among my friends that my collection of New Yorker magazines, going back many years, is in pristine condition--because I almost never finish an issue before the next one comes, and then the next.... So thank God for online archives! The Oct. 7, 2019, issue contains a Books column by Joan Acocella titled "How to Read Gilgamesh" in which she compares the Andrew George translation we'll be discussing on Jan. 6 with other editions and commentaries. I found it a very helpful overview of scholarship regarding this epic and commend it to you.
