“I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE the silliness of somebody like me assuming that their life has some greater purpose, if only I were to find it.” This was American actor and filmmaker Jesse Eisenberg’s response to The New Yorker when asked what he was “actually searching for” in art and life.
This is the last page of the last issue of this magazine for this calendar year. Its value as a chapter-closing sign is both literal and symbolic. I’ve juxtaposed Eisenberg’s quote with this column because I can’t think of a better lens with which to unpack why we look forward to the newness of an upcoming year.
