It sounds so miserable when you put it that way, doesn\u2019t it? And in many ways it was. But his final years had small pleasures of their own. Mark Beauregard writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/lithub.com\/herman-melville-was-also-a-failed-poet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Having failed commercially as a novelist, he had spent the last twenty-five\u00a0years of his life out of the public eye, and he had written poetry nearly every day<\/a>. Mostly, his verse was tortured and cramped, and he often drew his themes from unlikely sources: ancient Greece and Rome, the Holy Land, myths, gods, and temple architecture \u2026 Six days a week, he walked west from his apartment at 104 East Twenty-Sixth\u00a0Street, across lower Manhattan, to the docks along the North River (as the Hudson was then known). His job was to check ships\u2019 cargoes against their bills of lading and write reports, for which he earned four dollars a day (a salary that never changed). He walked back home in the evening, an unwavering routine. After dinner, he wrote poems late into the night.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Time was, comic books were seedy, pulpy diversions designed to educate the curious youth about the nightlife and detective folkways and various intricate sorts of lingerie. Now that they\u2019re a dignified art form, Titan Comics is hoping to bring them back to the gutter, launching several sordid new series. Among them is <em>Peepland<\/em>: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/sep\/28\/pulp-comics-return-violence-peep-shows-gangsters-crime\" target=\"_blank\">Written by crime authors Gary Phillips and Christa Faust\u2014herself a former peep show employee\u2014with art from rising star Andrea Camerini, the comic lifts the lid on the seedy goings-on at\u00a01980s Times Square peep-show booths <\/a>\u2026 It almost feels as though we\u2019re entering into a fresh golden age of comics doing the job they were intended to\u2014corrupting the innocent minds of young people.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>While we\u2019re keeping it trashy: a new photobook, <em>Love Land Stop Time<\/em>, captures the love motels of Brazil in their many-splendored neon: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/325543\/the-dreamy-steamy-settings-of-brazils-love-motels\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rooms feature mirrors not just on walls but also on their ceilings; sofas are dressed in vinyl printed with busy, retro patterns; beds are round<\/a>. In one image, a prism of light is cast\u00a0on a mustard-yellow curtain and a floral bed sheet, creating a homey love den for disco lovers \u2026 Visiting these pleasure palaces is\u00a0essentially as normal as taking a trip to the supermarket. Young people in Brazil tend to live with their parents until marriage; small houses often accommodate large families. Love motels\u2014relatively ubiquitous, cheap, and available for rent by the hour\u2014offer a much-needed place where couples have\u00a0guaranteed privacy to enjoy some good, old-fashioned adult fun.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Elvis Costello and New York City: they go together like bagels and lox. Except, Elvis Costello is British. <em>British<\/em>. Grew up in Liverpool. So why the 278 shows in NYC, then? Why the deep affinity for Gotham? It doesn\u2019t add up. A lesser man might\u2019ve asked to see Costello\u2019s birth certificate. Instead, Wendell Jamieson just asked him about it: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/02\/arts\/music\/elvis-costellos-new-york-soul.html?hpw&amp;rref=arts&amp;action=click&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;module=well-region&amp;region=bottom-well&amp;WT.nav=bottom-well\" target=\"_blank\">There is something in his music\u2014caustic, smart, fast-talking, but with moments of deep compassion and sublime beauty\u2014that is quintessentially New York<\/a>. He made a habit early in his career of being in-your-face, maybe a bit of a jerk, characteristics some might associate with New Yorkers as well \u2026 Mr. Costello was game to knock around my theory, if at first not entirely convinced. We were both hard-pressed to come up with other examples of non-New Yorker musicians, artists or authors who conveyed the sense of the city without trying to, or even realizing they were.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Many of us use Twitter to procrastinate, and we have nothing to show for it but self-esteem issues. The novelist Rabih Alameddine, though, who tweets pictures of works of art, has tens of thousands of followers and a growing reputation as an artist himself. \u201c\u2009\u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-novelist-whose-twitter-feed-is-a-work-of-art\" target=\"_blank\">The funny thing about my Twitter account is that I do it to avoid writing<\/a>,\u2019\u2009\u201d he told Jonathan Blitzer. \u201cWhen he writes fiction, every sentence is a special sort of agony, he told me, and while the welter of distractions on the Internet is a liability to many authors, Twitter settles him. \u2018What I do is write a sentence or two, and then I post an image; it distracts me. It calms me down, then I go back. I work a little bit. I read the sentence. I hate myself\u2014so I post an image. Then I come back. And it\u2019s really disgusting. I write another sentence. Then I post an image!\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herman Melville ended his life as a failure, with no inkling of the posthumous glories to come.
