3 Luckiest Zodiac Signs On August 29, 2024

In my first attempt to address the subject of my young husband’s suicide, the story I wrote bore no resemblance to the reality of his death, or to my own life. I thought this was what creativity was all about. The best thing about that earliest work was its title, The Child Widow, which was a gift from Philip Roth, my first reader, who awarded it like a gold star when he encouraged me to consider myself a writer. After that false start in 1970 I went on to write other novels. I also tried many other times to write about Tim. Finally, because the title was too good to waste, I set aside those previous efforts and wrote “The Child Widow,” an energetic short story published by the literary journal Ploughshares and designated among “100 Other Distinguished Stories of 2003” in The Best American Short Stories. That was good enough for me, so I called my original ambition fulfilled and let it go. Or so I thought.

New York City, NY

In Lucy Ives’s new novel, Life is Everywhere, she writes: “Everyone who has ever lived was born into something that was already taking place.”. As children in New York City in the 1970s, we were born into a world covered with paint. Walls, baseboards, moldings, even radiators might be six or seven layers deep with it, architectural edges and corner blurred into globs, approximate shapes. Sometimes you’d find paint over old black-and-white checkerboard tile on the floor of a bathroom, or covering leaky pipes beneath a sink. Old landlord strategy: Throw on another heavy coat. It might be holding the building together.

The iconic video game Red Dead Redemption II traverses vast swaths of North America’s geography. It follows the journey of the van der Linde gang through the cotton fields of the Deep South, through the coal-mining towns of southern Appalachia, through the sugar cane plantations of a Caribbean island, and, of course, across the wind-blown prairies and snowy mountains of the West. But in every advertisement for the game and in nearly every media review of it, only one of those regions claims the spotlight. Rockstar Games’ promotional materials promise a game about “the end of the Wild West era.” Gaming websites do the same, with IGN describing the game as a “sprawling Western tale.” GameSpot titled their review “Wild Wild West,” while PC Gamer’s review headline boasted that “the old west feels brand new again.”

M. John Harrison’s fiction is populated by characters in extraordinary circumstances, from a secret agent on a mission involving the very nature of God to a reclusive man who discovers evidence of a conspiracy inspired by aquatic species of humans. And then there’s his 1989 novel Climbers, which is about—as the title might suggest—a group of rock-climbing enthusiasts living and working in Yorkshire. No strange deities, no conspiracies, no otherworldly beings—just men, rocks, and trauma.

Tina Brown’s The Vanity Fair Diaries is catnip for a certain kind of reader. This gossipy chronicle describes the infamous editor’s rise to power during the mid-80s glory days of Condé Nast. There are Manhattan power lunches and cocktails with Warren Beatty. There are “wonderful parties” thrown by the Clurmans. It’s Succession meets The Bold Type. And frankly? Very fun to read.

The spiciest takeaways from Tina Brown’s Vanity Fair Diaries.

Lincoln, NE

For my neighbor Linda back in Lincoln, Nebraska, it was chickens—fridge magnets, figurines, calendars, coffee mugs, decorative plates. To sit in her kitchen, some sunlit morning, was to be surrounded by feathers and beaks in all manner of design. She just loved them. She couldn’t say why. For someone else, it might be bumper stickers. You slap one down, then another, then pretty soon the entire back of your car has been plastered over with slogans and jokes, the oldest of which start to fade and peel off.

Uncertain Times are bad times. The phrase describes decades of Cold War, the sudden crash of the housing market, years of a pandemic, and the nervous months before an election. When we’re happy, content, or confident, when ominous global powers fall, when the housing market turns around, when vaccines are developed, and when the officials are finally sworn in, the phrase falls out of fashion.
