This will be my last week at New York Magazine.

I’m sad because the editors I worked with there are among the finest in the country, and I am immensely grateful to them for vastly improving my work.

I’m also proud of the essays and columns I wrote at NYM - some of which will be published in a collection of my writing scheduled for next year.

I have no beef with my colleagues, many of whom I admire and are friends.

The underlying reasons for the split are pretty self-evident, and I’ll be discussing the broader questions involved in my last column this Friday.

I've been preparing for this eventuality, and the column will continue elsewhere. See you on Friday, when I'll detail some exciting news.
