Here are some things I like from around the Web, in my areas of interest:
The Sound of a Cello,was published by The New Yorker in their December 1, 1986 issue. The article was later reprinted as the introduction to the 2007 English translation of Krúdy’s Sunflower (New York Review Books Classics).

Three of Batki’s short stories were published in The New Yorker. (I believe you need a subscription to read these articles, but you might be able to get them on the Internet Archive.)

Strange-Dreaming Charlie, Cow-Eyed Charlie, March 20, 1971
The Life in Green, July 15, 1972
