The idea for this week’s New Yorker cover, “Summer Chore,” came from artist Edward Koren’s own life. “This summer I’ll be working on some etchings in my workshop and mowing my lawn!” he said. “Actually, that’s the problem: I mow the lawn as little as I can—I think of it as time-wasting at its worst. I’m surrounded by people with huge lawns—I don’t know why they bother. I think of them as having retirement lawns, you know, empty-life lawns. I stretch my mowing as long as I can.”
