From the cover of <i>She\u2019s the Boss<\/i>, 1985.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Memoirs are hot right now. \u201cLost\u201d books are hot right now. So it stands to reason: if you could write a memoir and then somehow \u201close\u201d it\u2014maybe, by, say, failing to remember that you ever wrote it at all\u2014you\u2019re gonna be rolling in the dough. But who, you might ask, could ever forget writing his own memoirs? The answer is simple: Mick Jagger, whose whole life lives under the banner of plausible deniability. Jagger, who\u2019s claimed that he\u2019ll never write an autobiography, has apparently forgotten that he already wrote one, of some seventy-thousand words, in the early eighties. Having expunged any memory of the book, he\u2019s done more than any publicity tour could to enhance\u00a0its salability. John Blake dishes: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/2017\/02\/ive-got-mick-jaggers-lost-memoir\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stuck in a secret hiding place right now I have Mick\u2019s 75,000-word manuscript<\/a> \u2026 Mick was reputedly paid an advance of \u00a31 million, an extraordinary figure for the time. A ghost was appointed and publication scheduled. Only it didn\u2019t work out quite like that \u2026 [In the book], Mick tells of buying a historic mansion, Stargroves, while high on acid and of trying out the life of horse-riding country squire. Having never ridden a horse before, he leapt on to a stallion, whereupon it reared and roared off \u2018like a Ferrari\u2019. Summoning his wits and some half-remembered horse facts, he gave the stallion a thump on the forehead right between the eyes and slowed it down \u2026 I was determined that this book needed to be published. Mick\u2019s delightful manager, Joyce Smyth, responded encouragingly to my letter. Mick could not remember any manuscript.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>While we\u2019re failing to remember things\u2014more believably and far more tragically, the culture has failed to canonize Freda DeKnight, a prominent black editor, writer, and cook whose midcentury fame has now completely evaporated. Donna Battle Pierce explains, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thesalt\/2017\/02\/16\/514360992\/meet-freda-deknight-a-hidden-figure-and-titan-of-african-american-food\" target=\"_blank\">Born in 1909, DeKnight spent much of her fifty-four years collecting, protecting and celebrating African-American culture and traditions in the years after World War II up to the civil rights movement<\/a>. Yet her name has been all but forgotten\u2014she doesn\u2019t even have that most basic of 21st century acknowledgements, a Wikipedia page \u2026 As the first food editor for\u00a0<em>Ebony<\/em>\u00a0magazine, DeKnight wrote a photo-driven monthly column that offered her home economist\u2019s tips, as well as regional recipes from the \u201cNegro community\u201d of home cooks, professional chefs, caterers, restaurateurs and celebrities \u2026 DeKnight presented a more nuanced and often glamorous image of African-American cooking and culture\u2014not just to African-American readers, but to the broader world.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Okay, okay, we\u2019ve put it off for long enough\u2014it\u2019s time to consider the laundry chute, the quiet workhorse of the domestic sphere, always there for you and your soiled garments, always ready to serve as an escape hatch for the beleaguered heroes of children\u2019s movies. Sarah Minor writes, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2017\/02\/the-hidden-history-of-the-laundry-chute\/516963\/\" target=\"_blank\">A laundry chute is a mythic domestic space. It\u2019s an unwatched door to nowhere, the open throat of an old home<\/a>. Its reputation has as much to do with convenience as with the early recognition that a house is not solid through and through. The laundry chute is a place where stains and embarrassing odors go to be erased, and dropping linen down the chute is a mnemonic for forgetting those embarrassments, for making such accidents invisible. Most of a laundry chute is sealed behind walls, and this covert quality draws people to encounter such items that laundry chutes are built explicitly to contain.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Lauren Young on the vanishing art of N\u00fcshu, a script from China\u2019s Hunan Province that only women know how to write and read: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/articles\/nushu-chinese-script-women\" target=\"_blank\">When N\u00fcshu was first discovered by people outside of Jiangyong in the 1980s, the media sensationalized the script as an invented, secret language that women could use to spite men and a patriarchal society<\/a>. This is what initially drew [Cathy] Silber to study N\u00fcshu. But\u00a0what she found was that men were well aware that women had been writing in the script. It wasn\u2019t an entirely new, made-up language but actually a writing system for the local dialect, and if men heard N\u00fcshu read aloud they most likely would have been able to understand. Men mostly just didn\u2019t care to learn how to write in women\u2019s script.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Ulka Anjaria on the sense of loss in Arundhati Roy: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/bostonreview.net\/literature-culture\/ulka-anjaria-goddess-loss\" target=\"_blank\">When I teach\u00a0<em>The God of Small Things\u00a0<\/em>to my students, we discuss Roy\u2019s transition away from fiction as emblematic of the very violence she describes in the novel<\/a> \u2026 Roy\u2019s novel began as a small thing, a rejoinder to the violences of patriarchy, caste, and party politics, a clearing of space for voices that otherwise would have drowned, unnoticed. But it got taken over by the roar of international publishing markets, the exoticization and commodification of brown women\u2019s bodies, and the unequal relations between India and the West, turning\u00a0<em>The God of Small Things<\/em>\u00a0into another notch in the global capitalist-patriarchal enterprise. I understand it now\u2014it is an ironic footnote to the novel\u2019s own story\u2014how\u00a0<em>The God of Small Things<\/em>\u00a0became something else entirely from the novel she had written, and how once Roy saw it happening, she turned resolutely away.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s roundup: Jagger has no memory of writing a book in the
