This isn't an article, it's a book review; those tend to be shorter. The New Yorker also publishes a number of shorter online pieces (roughly this length). Actual articles, which appear in the weekly magazine and online, are much, much longer and in depth, such as this from the current issue[1] or another currently on the HN front page[2]. If you're interested in more, I suppose you could read the book(s). I intend on doing so. 1:http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/14/a-house-divided http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/14/a-house-divided 2: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/30/inflamed http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/30/inflamed
