Pleasures and Days
Blathering about how much one likes or dislikes some bit of art or literature, now coyly referred to as “entertainment,” always puts me to sleep. In the following I shall generally refrain from appreciations and disapprobations except in cases where my feelings are contrary to opinions that appear to be both widely held and just wrong. Otherwise, I shall in the same spirit be most interested in pointing things out that, once noticed, may contribute to understanding and titillation.
Orwell: Crushed in the Here and Now
Three Photographers: David Hamilton, Jock Sturges and Sally Mann
The Devil is a Woman: Michelangelo’s Sexuality
