LOL at least you read it (or maybe did) Atlantic Magazine is not exactly a coloring book, or bathroom reading, or Dentist Office reading. Be thankful it wasn't Harpers! Or the New Yorker. You'd have passed out from boredom by now. Those are about the only three magazines left that publish articles longer than two pages. And I agree, I think the subject was more interesting than the author in this case, Ta-Nehisi made an otherwise engaging profile seem unnecessarily labored.
