I have to admit, that was a pretty fun headline to write. In any case, I love it when fiction and imagery are paired well, and although I haven't been a fan of all the New Yorker's choices lately, I was pretty psyched to see them choose this Richard Renaldi image for Annie Proulx's recently published story:
The story itself is rather tragic; a young girl, Dakotah, is raised in Wyoming after being abandoned by her mother. She later finds herself in Iraq and on the receiving end of a fair number of life's punches. It's an engrossing read, if not terribly uplifting. Unfortunately it's not on the New Yorker's site, but check it out in the June 9 & 16 Summer Fiction Issue.

The layout (admittedly not much different, but just to be thorough):
On his blog, Renaldi says "Annie Proulx is an amazing writer and I am honored to have one of my photographs accompany her story."
