I do know that kids who graduated between when Weequahic opened in the \u201930s and the great population shift that occurred in the 1960s remain very devoted to their memories and to the school.\u2019 \u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/newark-library.jpg\"><br \/> <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Claire Jarvis on reading Sarah Waters\u2014whose latest novel, <em>The Paying Guests<\/em>, has a graphic abortion scene\u2014while pregnant: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nplusonemag.com\/online-only\/online-only\/something-that-might-be-happening-to-me-now\/\">For the past two decades, Sarah Waters has been the best-known contemporary novelist of women\u2019s sexual history<\/a>. Her novels all develop, in some way, from her earlier work as a researcher focused primarily on lesbian and gay historical fiction. Her first,\u00a0<em>Tipping the Velvet<\/em>, which Waters conceived of while writing her Ph.D. thesis, details the hidden-in-plain-sight world of what we would now call queer life in Victorian London. An unexpected success when it was published in 1998, it was followed by two more Victorian pastiches,\u00a0<em>Affinity\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Fingersmith<\/em>, both bodice-ripping lesbian reworkings of nineteenth-century sensation novels. Waters\u2019s three most recent books, which have been set in the twentieth century, are moodier, and more self-consciously literary, combining the suspense plotting of her earlier work with domestic fiction\u2019s absorption in the details of everyday life. To these genre pastiches, Waters adds graphic descriptions of the bodily experiences of people\u2014particularly women\u2014in the past, making the blood, dirt, and pleasure of those lives as explicit as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The Sellout<\/em>\u2019s Booker Prize is the culmination of a long, strange journey through the UK publishing industry: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/oct\/26\/man-booker-prize-winner-paul-beatty-the-sellout-interview\">His rumbustious, lyrically poetic novel was turned down, his agent confirms, by no fewer than eighteen [UK] publishers<\/a> \u2026 \u2018I get hurt when I meet editors who tell me about books they really liked but couldn\u2019t publish. I don\u2019t know what that means,\u2019 he says. \u2018Sometimes I romanticize\u2014I go back even to the Harlem renaissance, when people would say, \u201cThis book isn\u2019t going to sell but I believe in you.\u201d I think there\u2019s still some of that in publishing. I hope there\u2019s still some of that.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>On the occasion of Brian Wilson\u2019s second memoir, Ben Ratliff looks at the unlikely longevity of the Beach Boys as cultural icons: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2016\/10\/26\/looking-for-the-beach-boys-fifty-years-later\/\">Time and social change have been rough on the Beach Boys<\/a>. Their best-known hits (say, \u2018California Girls,\u2019 \u2018Help Me, Rhonda,\u2019 \u2018I Get Around\u2019) are poems of unenlightened straight-male privilege, white privilege, beach privilege. It is hard to imagine that they helped anyone toward self-determination or achieving their social rights. Brian Wilson\u2019s great integrative achievement as a songwriter and producer was absorbed in bits and pieces by others\u2014Paul McCartney especially\u2014but it mostly worked for him alone. In their rhythm and humor the Beach Boys sound squarer all the time compared to Motown, the Beatles, and the Stones, and a lot of Phil Spector.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Art Spiegelman is reissuing his late friend Si Lewen\u2019s graphic novel <em>The Parade<\/em>, because that\u2019s what friends do: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/culture-desk\/an-early-wordless-graphic-novel-about-mankinds-appetite-for-war\">I first met Si when he was a spirited and elfin ninety-four-year-old who still spent most of his waking hours painting\u2014as he had since childhood<\/a>.
