That frisson of exclusion \u2026 that perfume of condescension: it\u2019s Fashion Week! And what better time to remind ourselves that the industry promulgates a whole range of body-image issues, not just in the models it chooses but right down to the mannequins? M. G. Zimeta, at a shop in London, tried to get some answers about those mannequins: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/09\/13\/mg-zimeta\/in-john-lewis\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nearly a year ago I complained about the mannequins at the entrance of the ladies\u2019 department in John Lewis on Oxford Street<\/a> \u2026 Months passed, and I received no response \u2026 The \u2018Fashion Queen\u2019\u00a0mannequin range\u00a0I\u2019d seen in John Lewis is produced by Bonami in Belgium and has the following dimensions: height 185 cm (6&#8217;07&#8221;), waist 59 cm (23&#8243;), hips 87 cm (34&#8243;) and bust 87 cm (34&#8243;). A Fashion Queen mannequin is taller than the average British man, but with the waist of a ten-year-old girl\u00a0in John Lewis sizes. Some of the clothes on the mannequins at John Lewis were discreetly pinned in place because the outfits would otherwise, even in the smallest sizes, be too loose for their frames.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When you\u2019re considering which book to read next, remember this: you don\u2019t have to read anything. You might, in fact, find it considerably more pleasurable to read nothing. In 2011, more than fifty thousand new novels appeared in the U.S., an abundance that makes it impossible, Amy Hungerford argues, to have a proper encounter with any of them: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/On-Refusing-to-Read\/237717\" target=\"_blank\">While any given reviewer may be an excellent reader, and any book buyer may have excellent taste, the literary market as a whole is vulnerable to forces that have less to do with literary discernment and more to do with money, class, contemporary pressures on journalism, the geography of cities, and the social networks that circumscribe the reach of editorial attention or a bookstore\u2019s clientele<\/a>. These forces have a profound effect on what is celebrated and what remains culturally invisible among the masses of books written and published, and they affect the meanings that particular books come to have as they enter the stream of culture.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today in hell on earth: What problems has iron slurry caused in <em>your<\/em> life? None? Well, bully for you. In Siberia, it\u2019s turned a whole river hideously, violently red, so much so that Russians are now referring to it as the \u201cblood river\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/09\/09\/world\/europe\/russia-red-river-siberia-norilsk-nickel.html\" target=\"_blank\">One hint at the possible cause is the path the river, the Daldykan, takes past the Norilsk Nickel mine and metallurgical plant, by many measures one of the world\u2019s most polluting enterprises<\/a>. The plant belches so much acid rain-producing sulfur dioxide\u2014two million tons a year, more than is produced in all of France\u2014that it is surrounded by a dead zone of tree trunks and mud about twice the size of Rhode Island \u2026 The ore also contains iron, but that red-hued element is far less valuable than the precious metals extracted along with it, and is generally discarded in slurry ponds \u2026 That iron slurry is the most likely source of the discoloration in the \u2018blood river.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the few good things about the bruising election season is that language\u2014especially tortured, ambiguous misuses of it\u2014is often front and center. And so we find ourselves dissecting a phrase like Hillary\u2019s \u201cbasket of deplorables,\u201d which, what is that \u2026 I have never seen that form of basket. Ben Zimmer has also never encountered this basket, but he\u2019s done his research on <em>deplorables<\/em>: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/lexicon_valley\/2016\/09\/12\/hillary_s_basket_of_deplorables_has_some_fascinating_legal_antecedents.html\" target=\"_blank\">The\u00a0<em>OED\u00a0<\/em>defines\u00a0<em>deplorables<\/em>\u00a0as \u2018deplorable ills\u2019 and provides a single citation from the journal of Sir Walter Scott<\/a>: \u2018An old fellow, mauld with rheumatism and other deplorables.\u2019 From a few years later, here is an attestation\u00a0in\u00a0an 1831 journal entry\u00a0by Thomas Carlyle, pairing\u00a0<em>deplorables<\/em>\u00a0with\u00a0<em>despicables<\/em>: \u2018Of all the deplorables and despicables of this city and time the saddest are the \u201cliterary men.\u201d \u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>William Empson\u2019s famous lost book <em>The Face of the Buddha<\/em>\u2014presumed to be irretrievable after his friend confessed to having left the manuscript in a taxi\u2014has been recovered and, at last, published. So what does it teach us? \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/several-types-of-william-empson\/\" target=\"_blank\">Empson notices a peculiarity of Buddhist sculptures\u2014that the left and right sides of the face are sometimes asymmetrical, showing two different expressions\u2014and attempts to explain why this deliberate asymmetry exists<\/a>. Empson collected instances of it over many years, surveying statues throughout Asia. Maybe, he speculated, the asymmetrical faces made the Buddha seem more realistically human, so that practitioners would find it easier to relate to him. By comparing the expressions on each side of a statue\u2019s face, Empson came to believe that the two sides embodied different aspects of the Buddha\u2019s nature: the left-hand side typically expresses the Buddha\u2019s \u2018detachment from the world after achieving peace,\u2019 while the right-hand side conveys \u2018power to help the worshipper.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re in New York, you\u2019ve surely noticed them, those well-heeled people bolting down the sidewalk looking pissed off and holding enormous cups of coffee.
