Few men that I know wear cuff links, but there’s something about a set of Scrabble tile cufflinks that makes me want to go out and buy a tux. They’re interesting conversation pieces, and most of the times I’ve played Scrabble I’ve had a really hard time using the letters Q and Z. The artisans [...]
The other day I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said HOWL If You <Heart> City Lights Books. They don’t sell them over the internet, you have to go to the store itself to buy one, but it was a hilarious reminder of how a bookstore–especially City Lights Books which was the first [...]
 If you’re like me, you grew up hearing references to the Tales of the Arabian Nights. You may have even heard versions of the tale of Scheherezade, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and, of course, Aladdin. Numerous versions exist, the most famous (in English, anyway) perhaps being Sir Richard Burton’s, although the stories, loosely [...]
This week’s word of the week is: tripe.

In his notes, director Lane Davies admitted that this was light farce, not requiring [...]
Responding to, and adding to, an article by William Deresiewicz, who said that literary criticism is “losing its will to live”, Jonathan Gottschall has come up with an astounding proposal: make literary criticism more like science. Blaming the decline in criticism’s relevance on the critics themselves, he says, We literary scholars have mostly failed to generate [...]
Frida Kahlo is one of those artists who, because her work is so autobiographical, always brings to mind a question that’s practically an obsession for me. How important is an artist’s biography to understanding their work? How important should it be? Here are some interesting facts about Frida Kahlo: she was married to the muralist [...] |
