(Not the scuba diver.)<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Last week, Bob Dylan\u2019s silence on the Nobel felt like a roguish prank; this week, it\u2019s a matter of existential import. As Adam Kirsch writes, Dylan has effectively out-Sartred Sartre, who outright refused the prize more than fifty years ago. By ignoring it, Dylan punctures the thin membrane of authenticity that gives the Swedish Academy its cachet: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/26\/opinion\/the-meaning-of-bob-dylans-silence.html?mtrref=getpocket.com&amp;gwh=A8C118363AE14BEAD21C8C7F31F86CA1&amp;gwt=pay&amp;assetType=opinion&amp;_r=0\">The Nobel Prize is in fact the ultimate example of bad faith: A small group of Swedish critics pretend to be the voice of God, and the public pretends that the Nobel winner is Literature incarnate<\/a>. All this pretending is the opposite of the true spirit of literature, which lives only in personal encounters between reader and writer. Mr. Dylan may yet accept the prize, but so far, his refusal to accept the authority of the Swedish Academy has been a wonderful demonstration of what real artistic and philosophical freedom looks like.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Meanwhile, Dylan\u2019s primary audience, baby boomers, have invented a fancy new eco-friendly way to face death: in a concrete casket at the bottom of the ocean. Ask your mortician today about \u201creef balls,\u201d which are like a mafioso\u2019s cement boots except, you know, consensual: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/baby-boomers-encase-me-in-concrete-and-dump-me-in-the-ocean-1477583957\">The\u00a0idea is part of a niche movement of eco-burials intended to support artificial\u00a0reefs, which proponents say could help restore sea life and coral<\/a> \u2026 George Frankel, sixty-six, a founder of Eternal\u00a0Reefs, said the concrete reefs attract fish and other sea life and remain stationary through hurricane-force weather \u2026 Turning a human into a reef\u00a0ball is a process that often stretches over several days, he said. First, what Mr. Frankel\u2019s company calls a \u2018pearl\u2019 is cast out of concrete and the cremated remains of the deceased. That pearl is attached to a larger prefabricated reef ball. Family members can add handprints, personal messages and even a memorial plaque on top of the reef ball when a fresh layer of concrete is added. Once those personal touches are embedded into the dried concrete, the ball is lowered into the ocean, with the family watching from a separate vessel nearby.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many have remarked on the preponderance of new books with <em>girl <\/em>in their titles, but Emily St. John Mandel has actually crunched the numbers. With hard data at our disposal, the truth about the glut of <em>girl<\/em> books gets even grimmer: it seems the girls in these books are far likelier to die when their authors are men. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/the-gone-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo-on-the-train\/\">What does happen to the girls in these stories<\/a>? With the help of a research assistant, I sorted the titles based on the status of the girl in the title, or insofar as we could figure out the status of the girl based on the book\u2019s Goodreads description \u2026 It wouldn\u2019t be fair to extrapolate from this that women and girls are more likely to be dead or missing across all books written by men; only that they\u2019re more likely to be dead or missing in books by men with <em>girl<\/em>\u00a0in the title. I can\u2019t think of any mitigating factor that fully explains this.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Today in forgotten words: Judith Lund, a whaling historian, made a major discovery when she pieced together the meaning of the word <em>woggin<\/em> from sailors\u2019 diaries: a woggin is a penguin. But why were so many sailors around the world writing about a creature that\u2019s supposed to be confined to the southern hemisphere? \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/articles\/whats-a-woggin-a-bird-a-word-and-a-linguistic-mystery\">Sailors in the north were also getting in on the action, reporting that they had \u2018caught 10 wogens\u2019 or \u2018saw wargins\u2019<\/a> \u2026 What if they were great auks? Also flightless, with large, hooked beaks and white eyespots, great auks went extinct sometime in the mid-1800s, hunted to death for their oily meat and fluffy down \u2026\u00a0As such, we know very little about them, and they have achieved near-mythical status among ornithologists \u2026 Early on in the list of woggin cameos, an explorer from 1860 reports that the birds \u2018excited my wonder and attention.\u2019 Mere lines later, sealers from 1869 are showing off \u2018a bag full of woggins\u2019 hearts, which we can roast on sticks, and who doubts that we shall make a\u00a0<em>heart<\/em>-y supper?\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A new biography of Angela Carter reveals (among other things) her gift for misandrist zingers: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/v38\/n21\/jenny-turner\/a-new-kind-of-being\">Carter referred to Ian McEwan behind his back as \u2018poor Ian\u2019, as in, \u2018poor Ian has been dreadfully overrated\u2019<\/a>\u2014she was always chippy about what she saw, with perfect accuracy, as her own relative lack of reward and recognition, in comparison to that of certain men \u2026 Rick Moody remembered his first encounter with Carter at a creative writing seminar: \u2018Some young guy in the back \u2026 raised his hand and, with a sort of withering skepticism, asked, \u201cWell, what\u2019s your work like?\u201d \u2026 There were a lot of ums and ahs \u2026 Then she said, \u201cMy work cuts like a steel blade at the base of a man\u2019s penis.\u201d \u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Bob Dylan\u2019s silence on the Nobel felt like a roguish prank; this week, it\u2019s a matter of existential import.
