Question:


Does anyone know why The New Yorker originally published the story as "Symbols and Signs"? I assume Katharine White made the change, but I can't imagine why she would; "Signs and Symbols" has that nicely trochaic rhythm.

There's a "takeoff" (or reflection on) in today's (May 28, 2012) The New Yorker by Lorrie Moore in the fiction section on VN's famous story "Signs and Symbols." I only read the first sentence of the Lorrie Moore story so far (and looked at the picture/illustration) and realized it.

The Lorrie Moore story is attached (I have not read it yet).
