Highlights from the Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collections
Some of my favourite outfits from the Spring 2013 RTW collections.
Günter Grass: Die Blechtrommel
I didn't read it in high school because someone told me it was dreadful. He was right.
Joe Brainard: I Remember
I remember by the American writer and artist Joe Brainard is a gem of a novel. The concept is really quite simple: the novel consists entirely of a long list of short sentences that start with "I remember". The effect is mesmerizing.
The Great Gatsby Trailer
The trailer for the new screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann is awesome. I just hope the film will live up to the trailer.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude
I'd originally planned to read One Hundred Years of Solitude at my 100th or 80th birthday, but I couldn't wait.
Daniel Yergin: The Prize. The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power
I know that I'm late to the party, but this is an excellent book and required reading if you want to understand 20th and 21st century history.
James Joyce: Ulysses
I finally entered the pantheon of readers who have read James Joyce's Ulysses.
Holland Animation Film Festival 2012
My favourite shorts from the Holland Animation Film Festival 2012
Goudemalion. Jean Paul Goude A Retrospective
Goudemalion, the Jean-Paul Goude retrospective at the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris, is both inspiring and joyful.
Danser Sa Vie at the Centre Pompidou
The Centre Pompidou has organized an ambitious exhibition which explores the relationship between dance and the visual arts. A large selection of paintings, sculptures, films, installations and dance works testifies to the ongoing exchange between both disciplines.
Oscar Wilde: The Picture of Dorian Gray
The Picture of Dorian Gray is full of the witticisms that Oscar Wilde has become famous for. Here are some of my favourites.
Philip Glass Looks Back on his Life
Portrait of Philip Glass in the Village Voice on his 75th birthday. Turns out he drove a cab till he was 41.
