It\u2019s a work that questions what it is to reproduce an image, a pet, a body part. Of course, this is the terrain of figurative art. But duplicates also appear within the piece: Linus\u2019s left bionic forearm and its phantom mirror not only each other, but his right forearm; the cat dozing by his ankle complements the stuffed one cradling his elbow; the bedspread underneath him simulates the sky above. The effect is overwhelming, and intensified by meticulousness: blades of hair golden in the sun, creases in the pillowcase, a naval piercing, cursive lettering on a nameplate necklace. In this representation of the self, there is an abundance of selves existing side by side simultaneously. What more could you ask for in a self-portrait? <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>\u2014Jay Graham<\/b><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tice Cin\u2019s debut novel, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andotherstories.org\/keeping-the-house\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping the House<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, would be interesting for its subject matter alone\u2014it follows the heroin trade in London\u2019s Turkish communities in the late nineties and early 2000s.

The result is a book filled with as much stop\/start energy as the raves its characters attend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>\u2014Rhian Sasseen<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The albums of legendary indie rock band Superchunk\u2014and the solo projects of their front man and Merge Records co-owner Mac McCaughan\u2014have been a refuge for me since the midnineties, when I swaddled my tortured teenage self in their seminal album, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foolish<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For decades McCaughan released his solo material under the moniker Portastatic, but with his 2015 album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-Believers<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he came out under his own name with a clean, eighties-inflected vibe. His follow-up, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mergerecords.com\/product\/the_sound_of_yourself\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sound of Yourself<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is out today. It\u2019s a mature statement from an indie veteran who knows exactly what kind of music he wants to make: mellow guitar rock gently buttered with synth, with McCaughan\u2019s trebly voice swimming in and out of the mix like a melancholy dolphin. The spacious title track is a particular favorite. McCaughan also channels his film scoring work with a few lovely, haunting instrumentals. I\u2019m not exactly sure who this record is for\u2014but it could be for me, entering middle age, looking back on all the music that\u2019s moved me, and grateful to pause for a while in a place I know and love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>\u2014Craig Morgan Teicher<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I thought of Jeffrey Skoblow\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/library.oapen.org\/handle\/20.500.12657\/25539\"><i>In a Trance: On Paleo Art<\/i><\/a> while looking at Lisa Yuskavage\u2019s \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yuskavage.com\/artwork\/4673\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Master Class<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d (in her show <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidzwirner.com\/exhibitions\/2021\/lisa-yuskavage\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Paintings<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, up now at David Zwirner). The painting stages a mythic discovery-of-art(ifice)-as-porn scenario: a bare-breasted hippie chick kneels before her male counterpart; they\u2019re separated by a painting of fire, placed over his crotch. Behind them looms a green canvas suggesting the cave-art shapes of horned bison, with a swirly psychedelic twist. Skoblow\u2019s meditation on cave drawings, in which he reconstructs from decades-old, hastily scrawled notebook entries his visits to twelve Lascaux-type sites, looks long and hard at that which is \u201cnot a sign of anything but itself, that is, it means, \u2018I mean,\u2019 \u2018I have meaning,\u2019 and connects all who recognize it.\u201d Skoblow\u2019s prose is quiet, strangely secretive, where Yuskavage\u2019s monochromes are shamelessly pop-y. But both invite us into \u201ca ritual landscape \u2026 a place to return to (if only in the mind), to take an interest in the minds and bodies of (relatively distant) others.\u201d Both are lushly recursive and metareferential in harnessing their respective media to ask after the origins of mark-making and figuration, to illustrate and illuminate \u201cthe muck and mire of human being, the terrifying crazy ooze of our psychosexual evolutionary mud bath.\u201d Who were these early humans? What did they see? And what did they do, to the walls and each other, with language\u2014a new space that introduces relations?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>\u2014Olivia Kan-Sperling<\/b><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_154848\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-154848\" class=\"wp-image-154848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1-878x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1-878x1024.jpg 878w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1-768x895.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1-1318x1536.jpg 1318w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1-1757x2048.jpg 1757w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/yusli0970_v1.jpg 1973w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-154848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lisa Yuskavage, Master Class, 2021. \u00a9 Lisa Yuskavage.
