Uncommon complete 52-page issue of the New York Review of Books for 17 January 2002 has a little wear to wrappers, but is otherwise a good copy. It includes:  

Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit's longer essay called "Occidentalism." This is an essay about how the eastern world, particularly the Muslim world, views the west. The authors turned this exploratory beginning essay into a book a few years later.

Noted on the cover of this issue (see photo #1) as "The Scary 'Lord of the Rings,'" Louis Menard offers an essay called "Goblin Market" in review of the film of "The Lord the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." See photo #2 where a color photo of "Arwen" is pictured.

Thomas Powers offers an essay on "The Trouble with the C.I.A." This on the bungling leading up to 9/11 (which didn't stop Bush from pinning a medal on the chest of CIA Director Tenet, who is caricatured here by David Levine).

Tim Flannery pens a longer essay in review of six books about the life and afterlife of Dinosaurs.

Christopher Benfey offers an essay in review of Alfred Habeggar's new Life of Emily Dickinson.

Lorrie Moore contributes an essay in review of Canadian Nobel Prize winner (2013) Alice Munro's "Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage."

Pankaj Mishra offers a longer essay on "Afghanistan" as the American turn at creating a mess was just beginning to unfold.

Other essays, reviews, letters, etc.
