As though a blog written by a Merriam-Webster lexicographer weren\u2019t exciting enough, Kory Stamper at harm\u00b7less drudg\u00b7ery<\/a> recently posted on the thrilling discovery of color definitions. To whit: \u201cbegonia<\/strong> n \u2026 3 : a deep pink that is bluer, lighter, and stronger than average coral (sense 3b), bluer than fiesta, and bluer and stronger than sweet william \u2014 called also gaiety<\/em>.\u201d In a kind of synesthetic treasure hunt, she races through the dictionary to follow the trail of colors. \u201cI eventually ended up at \u2018coral,\u2019 where sense 3c yielded up the fresh wonder, \u2018a strong pink that is yellower and stronger than carnation rose, bluer, stronger, and slightly lighter than rose d\u2019Althaea, and lighter, stronger, and slightly yellower than sea pink.\u2019 Carnation rose was clearly the color of the pinkish flower on the tin of Carnation Evaporated Milk, and Rose d\u2019Althaea was clearly Scarlett O\u2019Hara\u2019s flouncy cousin, but it was the last color that captivated me. \u2018Sea pink,\u2019 I murmured.\u201d \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou probably wear lipstick, powder base and a little eye makeup every day. But have you ever considered drawing in completely new eyebrows, wearing false eyelashes, putting hollows in your cheeks with darker foundation, a cleft in your chin with brown eyebrow pencil or enlarging your mouth by a third? These are just a few sorcerer\u2019s tricks available.\u201d Among the most amusing tributes to the original fun, fearless female is Bonnie Downing\u2019s affectionate Outdated Beauty Advice from Helen Gurley Brown<\/a> over at the Hairpin. \u2014Sadie O. Stein
<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, we are not interested in Angelina Jolie; we are interested in fame: its pure, bright, disembodied effervescence … True mystery doesn\u2019t interest us; the statement \u2018she had an aura of mystery\u2019 does.\u201d That\u2019s Katie Roiphe at her most Barthesian, explaining why people read celebrity profiles (a question that\u2019s nagged at me for a while). Other topics covered in her new book, In Praise of Messy Lives<\/em><\/a>: single mothering, incest scenes in fiction, and the messy early days and nights of The Paris Review<\/em>. \u2014Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Short of an encounter with the ghost of Dickens, leafing through a rare old book is as close as one can get to a religious experience in the world of literature. That\u2019s why when I pray to the book gods, I do so facing Harvard Square, home of Lame Duck Books<\/a>. Their remarkable collection includes first-edition copies of Cevdet Bey ve ogullari<\/em><\/a> and Cien a\u00f1os de soledad<\/em><\/a>, this nifty inscribed portrait of Dostoevsky<\/a><\/a>, and a jaw-dropping set of Borges\u2019s manuscripts and volumes from his personal library. If you aren\u2019t independently wealthy enough to spend seventy-five thousand dollars on a photograph or piece of parchment, there\u2019s no shame in just reading their catalogue<\/a>; in fact, it is itself a very fine piece of literary scripture. Each item is accompanied by a rich little essay combining history, anecdote, and measured criticism. \u2014Arthur Holland Michel
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bargemusic<\/a>\u2019s Saturday-night concert cost only fifteen dollars for students. So, nearing the end of my student discounts, I went for Beethoven\u2019s String Quartet No. 14 played by the Avalon Quartet<\/a>. Inevitably the barge rocks as the musicians play; people in the audience, mostly gray haired and married, look around worriedly whenever a speedboat thumps by. Yet somehow the music still radiates as everyone battles seasickness. Special credit goes to the performers, whose charm and personality transcend all the (literal) ebbs and flows. This alone is worth seeing, and is perhaps why few departed after the intermission. \u2014Tyler Bourgoise<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been reading Borges\u2019s Evaristo Carriego: A Book About Old-time Buenos Aires<\/em><\/a>, a short biography of a popular poet from Palermo, the neighborhood where Borges grew up and which he memorialized in many of his early poems. As biography it\u2019s pretty outr\u00e9\u2014\u201cI believe that a chronological account is inappropriate to Carriego,\u201d Borges announces early in the book\u2014but as a portrait of Palermo and an introduction to Borges\u2019s obsession with knife fighters and the underworld of Buenos Aires, it\u2019s pretty unbeatable. It also includes a short chapter, \u201cA History of the Tango,\u201d which is one of the best pieces of music criticism I know. \u2014Robyn Creswell
<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a devoted fan of Lesley M. M. Blume\u2019s \u201cLet\u2019s Bring Back\u201d series, in which the author pays tribute to various vintage phenomena due for an encore. I am not a gifted home mixologist, but Let’s Bring Back: The Cocktail Edition<\/em><\/a> is such good reading\u2014it\u2019s a mix of cocktail lore, recipes, anecdotes, and quotations\u2014that I think even a teetotaler would enjoy it. That said, I\u2019m looking forward to ordering a Runt\u2019s Ambition (rum, gin, whiskey, and port wine) or a Du Barry (gin, vermouth, Pernod, bitters) from some more-skilled bartender\u2014if only to get a taste of the past. \u2014S.O.S. <\/strong><\/p>\n
