Not so. You could also have your ashes scattered at the Metropolitan Opera\u2014though, be warned, people will get all huffy about it, for some reason. A Dallas man named Roger Kaiser has apologized for sprinkling a \u201cwhite powdery substance\u201d on the Met\u2019s floors during a performance this week. That powder was all that remained of his friend Terry Turner, and he wanted Turner to stay there for good: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/11\/03\/arts\/music\/opera-fan-apologizes-for-scattering-ashes-at-metropolitan-opera.html\" target=\"_blank\">I told Terry that if he would like, I would take some of his ashes to opera houses that I visited in the future<\/a>,\u201d he wrote in his apology. \u201cTrying to lighten the mood, I jokingly told Terry they would never be able to vacuum all of him up. He would be there forever enjoying all the beautiful music.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Here is a brutal reality about windows: they\u2019re\u00a0transparent. It\u2019s such an obvious statement, and yet, as Edwin Heathcote writes, fewer and fewer people seem to understand it: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/f082580c-960e-11e6-a1dc-bdf38d484582\" target=\"_blank\">You can have a panoramic window, but there will also be a view back in<\/a>. It is a condition highlighted in recent complaints by residents in the Neo Bankside apartments that visitors to neighboring Tate Modern\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/449ad16e-20dd-11e6-aa98-db1e01fabc0c\" target=\"_blank\">new viewing gallery<\/a>\u00a0were using it to look right into their apartments. There have been letters. Sir Nicholas Serota, the outgoing director of the Tate, probably didn\u2019t help when he suggested the residents put up net curtains. Yet the flippant (and also rather brilliant) comment did highlight a contemporary condition \u2026 The difficulty stems from a confusion at the heart of contemporary architecture\u2014that is, the difference between a window and a wall.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you read a headline like, <small>HE LOVED OPIUM, MURDER, AND WORDSWORTH<\/small>, you think: pssssh, who doesn\u2019t? You\u2019re just about to click away when you see they\u2019re writing about Thomas De Quincey, who loved those things fervently, passionately, perhaps even\u2014yes\u2014more than you do. Frances Wilson\u2019s new biography of De Quincey explores his failures as a husband, father, and addict, meaning it\u2019s great fun to read: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/30\/books\/review\/he-loved-opium-murder-and-wordsworth.html\" target=\"_blank\">At Oxford, De Quincey disdained the final oral exams because they were not, as advertised, conducted in ancient Greek<\/a>. The \u2018hoary\u2019 university, he determined, was beneath him. \u2018I owe thee nothing!\u2019 he dismissively informed it \u2026 De Quincey first took opium to relieve a toothache. It provoked a change of life and those infamous rhapsodies in <em>Confessions<\/em>, e.g.: \u2018I took it\u2014and in an hour, oh! Heavens! What a revulsion! What an upheaving, from its lowest depths, of the inner spirit! What an apocalypse of the world within me!\u2019 \u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>De Quincey appeals because literature has always been not so secretly about getting fucked up. The writing doesn\u2019t actually matter that much; it\u2019s the hedonism that counts. That\u2019s what the Brat Pack discovered in the eighties, and they perfected it\u2014so much so that people are still writing profiles of them in <em>Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em> even though most of their books are immediately forgettable. (My opinions are not those of the <em>Review<\/em>.) \u201cDid you know that Jay McInerney and Bret Easton Ellis \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/culture\/art-books-music\/a18422\/literary-brat-pack-donna-tartt-jay-mcinerney\/\" target=\"_blank\">attended the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards together, an event novelists are rarely, if ever, invited to; McInerney says they found the event \u2018silly.\u2019<\/a> But they both earned their reputations: McInerney partied with the rich, beautiful, and famous; Ellis, the personification of young and cool, was sent back to Los Angeles to spend a night with Judd Nelson on assignment for<em>Vanity Fair<\/em>. In his own interviews, he chugged drinks while sounding cryptic and doomed: \u2018I\u2019m sure I\u2019m going to get some deadly disease any second, like <small>AIDS<\/small> or cancer,\u2019 he told the now-defunct\u00a0<em>Los Angeles Times Magazine<\/em>.\u00a0The \u2018toxic twins,\u2019 the press called them, since they, sometimes along with [the editors] Fisketjon or Entrekin, were often spotted at trendy New York clubs like Area, or Tribeca dives like Puffy\u2019s and Raccoon Lodge, drinks in hand, eyes bloodshot.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Abdelfattah Kilito on finding the right language to write in: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/harpers.org\/archive\/2016\/11\/le-mot-injuste\/\" target=\"_blank\">At school, I took pains to learn French, and at university I specialized in French literature, which I then taught for more than forty years<\/a> \u2026 There\u2019s no record of all those years of lecturing, and I\u2019ve rarely made an effort to publish anything on French literature. I know I can\u2019t add anything significant to what the French have already written. In any case\u2014this is the important part\u2014the French don\u2019t expect me to write about their literature. Their literature doesn\u2019t need me. Arabic literature does need me, however, just as much as I need it. This has always been a firm belief of mine; without it, I never would have written anything at all \u2026 You might even say that I learned French, paradoxically, so that I could write in Arabic.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I wrote a few days ago about baby boomers who want to spend eternity in concrete caskets at the bottom of the ocean, I thought it was a shoo-in for the biggest funeral innovation of the week.
