Wallace Shawn is dissatisfied with living in the United States. He doesn’t love it, nor does he not love it. He expresses his feelings about Americans and how he doesn’t really call himself one or see himself as one even when he resides in America, New York to be exact. “Of course I don’t like it, because I don’t feel the loyalty to this or any other place, apart from our very beautiful planet as a whole”(51). In conclusion to his literature, Shawn states how he already knows this magazine is going to go out of business, therefore he calls this issue Final Edition.
