Glories of the Past Dept.: Michael J. Arlen on Losing the Novel Race


The latest installment of a new column on New Yorker fiction, past and present, by writer and editor Benjamin Chambers. It occurred to me that it would be fun to do occasional posts on fiction that appeared in The New Yorker 50 years ago. To start off, I simply did a quick scan of The Complete New Yorker CNY for fiction published in 1958, and son of a gun, I came up with a winner right away: Michael J. Arlen??s delightful ???Are We Losing the Novel Race???? from April 19, 1958. This particular Arl

Depression


Depression March 7th, 2008 What is a depressive disorder? Depressive disorders have been with man since the beginning of recorded history. In the Bible, King David, as well as Job, suffered from this affliction. Hippocrates referred to depression as melancholia, which literally means black bile. Black bile, along with blood, phlegm, and yellow bile were the four humors fluids that accounted for the basic medical physiology of that time. Depression has been portrayed in literature and the ar

Another Library Sale


Yesterday was my library's quarterly book sale. I think after my last few book buying binges I can sit back happily and just read for a while. Although I managed to fill my book bag with books and spend less than 20, I was a bit disappointed this time around. They usually have a wonderful selection of classics and trade size novels and it was all very picked over this time around. My best find was The Sagas of Icelanders edited by Ornolfur Thorsson. I had looked at it online, but didn't w

Reading ???The Swimmer??? by John Cheever


I admit it. I saw The New Yorker in his bio and thought, jeezus pleasus and other Latin phrases.? It??s not like I didn??t want to get it but I don??t have my own swimming pool so.? And the old couple that swim naked.? Gaa. After a cold rain yet. That??s just not a pretty sight.? Probably symbolism.? Or something.? hey, maybe this connects to that red wheelbarrow and those chickens somehow.

Deanna Durbin In the 30's


3/18/1933 HCN Elizabeth Yeaman After eight weeks of salary cuts, then what? That is the question on the lips of everyone in the film colony. I'll confess to some doubting suspicions myself. The producers have said that salaries would return to normal. Some of them may have made the statement in good faith, but there's always the possibility that another order for reduced salaries could come from New York. Pondering these possibilities, I talked to several producers. it may have been impertinen

The Wife - Chapter 1


Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is one of Russia??s most cherished storytellers. He is known in modern-day Russia for his several hundred short stories, many of which are considered masterpieces of the form. Yet his plays are also major influences on twentieth-century drama. From Chekhov, many contemporary playwrights have learned how to use mood, apparent trivialities and inaction to highlight the internal psychology of characters. Chekhov??s four major plays??The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters,

Obama as the postmodern John Cheever of Honolulu


In one of the more memorable passages in Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, Obama more or less admits that his book's portrait of Hawaii is a fictionalized projection of his own self-pity and resentment. On p. 340, he is in his late 20s, visiting Kenya, and on his way to meet his father's third wife and second white....

More Matter: Essays and Criticism by John Updike,


John Updike's fiftieth book and fifth collection of assorted prose, most of it first published in "The New Yorker, brings together eight years' worth of essays, criticism, addresses, introductions, humorous feuilletons, and -- in a concluding section, "Personal Matters" -- paragraphs on himself and his work. More matter, indeed, in an age which, his introduction states, wants "real stuff -- the dirt, the poop, the nitty gritty -- and not . . . the obliquities and tenuosities of fiction." Still,

Last night with "Last Night"


James Salter might be my favorite author right now. had been having some trouble finding time/space/motivation to read books recently, but i just stormed through his '05 short-story collection, Last Night--a v. thoughtful recent gift from Laal--in like two days. one thing that occurred to me as i finished the title story--which presents an awesomely fucked-up scenario that i'd rather not spoil by delineating--is that in a lot of ways Salter is a horror writer. his subject is basically

Memo to self: You are not, and never will be Sam Shepard.


On Bank Holiday Monday while I tended to an empty shop, Justine went up into our loft and started, in preparation for a house move that may or may not yet happen, to sift through the flotsam. She found a lot of old magazines including this American Esquire from 1988. In those days I used to love American Esquire and reading through this issue again it's not hard to see why.

RWA has announced the RITA nominees for this year, and I know y'all are just dying to read my commentary on the matter.

Which I figure is about normal for any sort of award. I mean, look at the Oscars. I don't know about you all, but I have yet to see The English Patient and the idea of watching Atonement makes me g

An Interview with Joshua Henkin


So, yes, I'm late to this party*. I've been intending to interview Matrimony author Joshua Henkin on the site for, oh, AGES, and he's been entirely gracious during an extended period when I've been so busy that pretty much all optional commitments have gotten continually pushed aside. But: We finally managed to get the interview done, and talk about all sorts of interesting things--writing workshops, craft and process of course, recommendations--so I think you'll agree it was worth the wait.

Things I've Enjoyed Recently ?? The last 15 minutes of Terry Gilliam's Brazil, which essentially justify whatever misfires pocked the rest of the movie. ?? Broadcast News, a great 80s drama/comedy with Holly Hunter and Albert Brooks that I came across on Netflix. It's in the same "ambivalent realist" world as, say, Glengarry Glen Ross or Crimes and Misdemeanors, but less obsessed with setting a mood than the aforementioned. Well, beyond "ambivalent," I suppose. It's also a movie that doesn't e

Two Cents: Bully 4 Bully 4 The Wii!


When Bully was released for the PlayStation 2, it became one of my games of the year at the Village Voice. It was a staggeringly giant game and I loved it not only because of the go-anywhere gameplay, but because of the wit within the story. Yeh, there was fighting. But there were touching moments full of the angst of childhood, private school style. To make a literary analogy, it was more John Cheever than John Updike. Here??s what I mean. Cheever could write about the upper middle class and
