J. Hoberman remembers the first time he saw a Conner piece: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2016\/07\/15\/creepy-world-of-bruce-conner\/\" target=\"_blank\">As a fifteen-year-old Pop Art aficionado wandering through the Whitney Museum\u2019s 1964 Sculpture Annual, I discovered Conner\u2019s work in the form of the assemblage\u00a0<em>Couch<\/em><\/a>. There was no warning. It was like rounding a corner and bumping into Death \u2026 a derelict remnant of a nightmare haunted house. Conner took a moldering, paint-spattered, wax-encrusted Victorian divan and managed to imbed it with a child-sized mummy. The simulated, decomposed corpse was nestled into a corner. On closer inspection, it looked as though it might have been strangled.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s widely accepted that one of the few attractions of a career in medicine is regular exposure to nude people. In the eighteenth century, aspiring doctors had such a hankering for nudity that they took it upon themselves to construct very, very, very detailed wax women: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/296700\/the-history-of-life-sized-fully-dissectible-anatomical-venuses\/\" target=\"_blank\">Known today as Anatomical Venuses, these wax figures of women were life-sized and fully dissectible, with their removable organs completely\u00a0exposed to all, while their faces were kept intact with beautiful, oddly serene features<\/a> \u2026 I was especially struck by a number owned by the French doctor Pierre Spitzner (whose collection is now at the\u00a0University of Montpellier), which\u00a0date to the second half of the nineteenth century: one was a wax automaton, featuring a Venus who \u2018breathed,\u2019 with a rising and falling chest; another is of a girl in an impeccably white nightgown undergoing a caesarean section, with four distinctly male hands prodding her revealed organs, bizarrely attached to no bodies\u2014phantom hands, complete with white cuffs and the sleeves of black jackets to add an extra layer of eeriness.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In the age of the seven-figure advance, as Nathan Scott McNamara writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/entertainment\/archive\/2016\/07\/why-american-publishing-needs-indie-presses\/491618\/\" target=\"_blank\">major presses are inadvertently helping foster an environment where American indie presses can thrive by doing the very thing they\u2019re best at: being small and, by extension, focusing on creativity and originality over sales<\/a> \u2026 In reorganizing the priorities of book publishing\u2014by inventing new models rather than trying to repeat past success, by valuing ingenuity over magnitude, by thinking of sales as a way to make great books possible rather than the point\u2014indie presses aren\u2019t just becoming the places where the best books are published; they\u2019re already there.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Let\u2019s finish things off in the gutter, where a group of dirty-minded linguists have started to name all the words that sound sexual but aren\u2019t. For starters: <em>cordwangle<\/em>, <em>invigilation<\/em>, <em>formicate<\/em>, <em>uvula, quincunx<\/em>. Mark Liberman writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu\/nll\/?p=26767#comments\" target=\"_blank\">A colleague (who has request anonymity) and I have developed a fondness for perfectly innocuous words which, to the linguistically unwashed masses, sound sexual<\/a>.
