What a comfort to have him in my mind before I slept. No matter if he is comic or desperate, self-possessed or wounded, romantic or cool, he is ridiculously good-looking and seems never to know this. I love it when he puts his hands on his waist and pushes his hips forward as if about to dive or perform some acrobatic trick. His slim, athletic torso and long arms are always tanned. Sometimes he wears a fine shimmering gold medal around his neck. I love his dark eyes that have not forgotten his youthful suffering. He makes me laugh when he rolls his eyes around with his own special brand of sophisticated nonchalance. Though he isn\u2019t aggressive, he doesn\u2019t seem weak either. I find him buoyantly masculine. I can\u2019t resist watching him. A few days ago, on a flight to Los Angeles, I watched Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s hugely entertaining thriller <i>North by Northwest<\/i> again. Grant was fifty-five when he made this film and long past his box office peak in the screwball comedies that made him famous. In the Hitchcock film he wears a nice-fitting, light gray suit with a gray silk tie and cuff links. The suit gets dirty, sponged off and pressed, then dirty again. Grant\u2019s hair is a little gray, too. I don\u2019t wear ties anymore, but I would wear a tie worn by Cary Grant. <i>North by Northwest<\/i> appeared in 1959, around the time that he was experimenting with medical LSD and searching for more \u201cpeace of mind,\u201d as he called it. I don\u2019t really know what a great actor is, but I think Grant is sensational.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>\u2014Henri Cole<br \/>\n<\/b><i>Read Henri Cole\u2019s recent essay on James Merrill\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2022\/08\/16\/past-present-perfect-an-overdue-pilgrimage-to-stonington-connecticut\/\">here<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In a scene midway through Whit Stillman&#8217;s <i>Barcelona<\/i>, which I rewatched this week, the Spanish Marta (played by a not-so-Spanish Mira Sorvino) is explaining to patriotic American naval officer Fred why her friend Montserrat has left his also American cousin, Ted.<\/p>\n<p>Ted\u2019s romantic rival, she says\u2014in close-up, in a possibly Catalan accent\u2014has lectured Montserrat about the ills of American society:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>And he painted a terrible picture of what it would be like for her to live the rest of her life in America, with all of its crime, consumerism, and vulgarity. All those loud, badly-dressed, fat people watching their eighty channels of television and visiting shopping malls. The plastic throw-everything-away society with its notorious violence and racism. And finally, the total lack of culture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a problem,\u201d agrees Fred.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>\u2014Rebecca Panovka<br \/>\n<\/b><i>Read Rebecca Panovka\u2019s culture diary, which chronicles a week of June in New York,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2022\/08\/18\/barefoot-astroturf-situation-june-in-new-york\/\">here<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I usually start my summer by reading <i>Sleepless Nights<\/i>, mostly because of the opening sentences: \u201cIt is June. This is what I have decided to do with my life just now.\u201d My love for reading Elizabeth Hardwick is matched only by my love for reading about Elizabeth Hardwick, so it\u2019s only fitting that I\u2019m finishing the summer reading <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/come-back-in-september-a-literary-education-on-west-sixty-seventh-street-manhattan\/9780374126650\"><i>Come Back in September: A Literary Education on West Sixty-Seventh Street<\/i>, <i>Manhattan<\/i><\/a> by Darryl Pinckney. The memoir, which will be released in October, is an impressionistic recollection of Pinckney\u2019s early years as a writer in New York City, when he was fresh out of school and trying to learn who he wanted to be by studying Hardwick, his former professor, as well as Barbara Epstein, his new editor at <em>T<\/em><em>he<\/em> <i>New York Review of Books<\/i>. I especially liked Pinckney\u2019s anecdotes: Hardwick bringing home a cardboard box of what would become <i>Sleepless Nights <\/i>but was then called \u201cThe Cost of Living\u201d; dinners and joints with Hardwick\u2019s daughter Harriet; and nights spent watching the B-52s perform. It\u2019s a portrait of a special phase in many young lives, when our relationships with the people who have the greatest influence on us can feel both fated and random.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
