You Asked. I Answer.

Part I: China, Milan Kundera, and whether I think in French.

Newspapers and magazines attract the readers they deserve. The quality of the comments section is a good guide to the value of a publication. So I was exceedingly gratified to read the questions readers asked in response to our AMA:

I Edit the Cosmopolitan Globalist

Skim through those questions, if you haven’t already. Aren’t they good? Wouldn’t our readers be terrific guests at a dinner party?

If we’ve attracted the readers we deserve, that means you should subscribe to the Cosmopolitan Globalist. When you subscribe, you not only get access to the paywalled content, you get to chat with them. Those clever, interesting, cultured, literate people could be your new friends.

There are about sixty excellent questions, so I can’t allow myself to get carried away with long answers—even though, with some of them, I very easily could. So I’ll set myself a 500-word limit per question. I’ll answer them in the order received.
