You can be sure that no matter what scene your children are masturbating to, they are not objectifying women. But you will have to make sure that they accidentally stumble on it soon, before they find the Internet, if they are to have a fighting chance at being wholesome and delightful fuckers instead of hopelessly depraved ones like yourself.\u201d \u2014<strong>Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My friend Pete turned me on to <a href=\"http:\/\/ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ephemeral New York<\/a>, which, along with <a href=\"http:\/\/vanishingnewyork.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vanishing New York<\/a>, has immediately entered my personal must-read feed. And if you really want to feel melancholy about our city\u2019s lost treasures, take a look at <a href=\"http:\/\/builtmanhattan.tumblr.com\/post\/10038790054\/listicle-without-commentary-destroyed-new-york-city\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a>. (And thanks to Vanishing New York for turning me on to Karen Lillis\u2019s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.undiepress.com\/category\/bagging-beats-midnight\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bagging the Beats at Midnight<\/a><\/em>, a memoir by a long-time employee of beloved\u2014and endangered\u2014St. Mark\u2019s Bookshop.)<strong> \u2014<strong>Sadie Stein<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is print dead? Not at all. The <a href=\"http:\/\/nyartbookfair.com\/about.php\">New York Art Book Fair,<\/a> hosted by Printed Matter this weekend at P.S. 1, is probably the best browsing experience you\u2019ll have all year. Photobooks, artist\u2019s books, antiquated books, ephemera, zines: it has everything from the small to the massive, the odd to the vintage, the practical to the whimsical. \u2014<strong>Deirdre Foley-Mendelssohn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been poking around in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/asymptotejournal.com\/\">Asymptote<\/a><\/em>, a new and impressively eclectic online magazine, with fiction and nonfiction, poetry and criticism, all in translation. I\u2019ve especially enjoyed the (very) short story by Robert Walser, translated by Susan Bernofsky, Adonis\u2019s \u201cAmbiguity,\u201d translated by Elliott Colla, and an essay about riddles by the Russian formalist Viktor Shklovsky, translated by Shushan Avagyan. There is, in other words, something for everyone. \u2014<strong>Robyn Creswell <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I picked up a copy of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mr-Fox-Helen-Oyeyemi\/dp\/159448807X\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1317324694&amp;sr=8-1\">Mr. Fox<\/a><\/em> by Helen Oyeyemi in the office and am thoroughly enjoying doses of Wes Anderson-esque whimsy. It\u2019s a fairy tale disguised as a novel about a writer (named Mr. Fox), his muse (Mary Foxe), and his characters. Like all good fairy tales, the story is told over and over again in various romantic settings, in this case involving plenty of typewriters, brownstones, and flower shops.<strong><strong> \u2014<strong>Artie Niederhoffer<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An old interview between Borges and Enrique Krauze, devoted mainly to Spinoza, is newly translated in <a href=\"http:\/\/greatmarshpress.com\/readingroom\/thecurrentissue.html\">the current issue of <em>The Reading Room<\/em><\/a>: \u201cDescartes let himself be seduced by that abominable little Protestant sect, the heresy that is the Church of Rome; but if one accepts his premises, one arrives either at solipsism or Spinozism. Which means that Spinoza was a more coherent thinker and certainly much braver than Descartes. For me\u2014simply because I&#8217;m a coward myself\u2014bravery is an essential virtue.\u201d \u2013<strong>L. S.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Much has already been written on the immersive, off-broadway<span style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular;\"> <\/span>theatre experience, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sleepnomorenyc.com\/\">Sleep No More<\/a><\/em>. Recently extended through November 5, this eerie production has been haunting me all week. Though the storyline (based on <em>Macbeth<\/em>) left me a bit puzzled and frustrated, the sets, music, and lighting design alone are worth the price of admission. If you go, stick as close to the actors as you can (even when that means literally running up and down stairs) and you might get as lucky as I did to get locked in a room alone with one of the players. What a memorable and bewitching treat to have a monologue recited to you and you alone\u2014sans mask. \u2014<strong>Charlotte Strick<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elaine Blair says let your children read Nicholson Baker: \u201cHouse of Holes will introduce impressionable readers to many interesting sexual possibilities without a whisper of stereotype or slur.
