Today "The New Yorker" is one of a number of general-interest magazines, published for a sophisticated audience, but in the post-World War II era the magazine occupied a truly significant niche of cultural authority. A self-selected community of 250,000 readers, who wanted to know how to look and sound cosmopolitan, found in its pages information about night spots and polo teams. They became conversant with English movies, Italian Communism, French wine, the bombing of the Bikini Atoll, prêt-à-porter and Caribbean vacations. A well-known critic lamented, that "certain groups have come to communicate almost exclusively in references to the magazine's sacred writings. "The World through a Monocle" is a study of these "sacred writings".
