Thoughts on the New Yorker summer fiction issue?

Those of you who've read the New Yorker's fiction issue (most pieces are subscription only but you can read George Saunder's story for free see http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/) I'd be curious about your thoughts. Here are mine in brief.
1. George Saunders "Home" --this was my favorite story in the issue. I tend to like Saunder's stuff generally, and this one for me, did not disappoint for the usual reasons in his portrayal of a broken America.
2. "Asleep in the Lord" Jeffrey Eugenides. Since this story deals with a young "lost" American in Calcutta, this story was right up my own alley--and yet, while there were some great descriptions and scenes, it didn't quite pull together for me.
3. "Above and Below" Lauren Groff. A story about female protagonist English grad student who "runs away" from society after her boyfriend dumps her and (spoiler) years later seems to have re-connected to the world by having a baby--really? Again? Please, no more disconnected English grad student stories. Please.
4. "The Aquarium" Alexander Hemon. This essay about a father with one healthy daughter and one very sick one was heartbreaking and insightful. Worth reading.
5. "Trading Stories" Jhumpa Lahiri. This essay seemed familiar almost from the get-go, and then I realized it was basically the text of her keynote address at AWP 2011 in DC. So she got paid a lot of money to give the speech at AWP, then basically polish the piece for another nicely paid essay for The New Yorker. Must be nice to get away with that kind of double dipping.
Would love to hear your thoughts on these pieces.
