\"Edward<\/a>

Edward Hopper, Office at Night<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Here, in no particular order, are things I hate about historical novels: exposition, walk-ons by famous people, anachronistic dialogue, imaginary letters from actual figures, physical comedy, the looming shadow of war\/horrors of trench warfare\/Nazi menace, \u201cheated debates,\u201d and Cambridge dons asking after one anothers\u2019 small children\u2014in the nineteen-teens\u2014as if they taught Communications at Pomona. All of these things may be found in Bruce Duffy\u2019s The World As I Found It<\/em><\/a>, a fictionalized life of Ludwig Wittgenstein first published in 1987. Why on earth did I pick it up? Because at 558 pages, it was the longest New York Review Classic for sale at the Strand, and because if the New York Review<\/em> decides to reprint an historical novel, I want to know why. Within three pages, I was addicted. Within three days, I was babbling about it to my friends. Here\u2019s Bertrand Russell with his bad breath, phlegmatic G.\u2009E. Moore, and Wittgenstein\u2014saintly, sympathetic, an angel of intellectual destruction\u2014a hero so well written I kept forgetting he was real. \u2014Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t been to see the show yet, but the catalogue for the Whitney\u2019s exhibition of Edward Hopper drawings<\/a> is itself pretty fantastic. The studies for his best-known paintings\u2014Nighthawks<\/i> and\u00a0Early Sunday Morning<\/i> among them\u2014are fascinating windows into his process, and the spare sketches of, say, a man\u2019s suited back are strangely riveting, but my favorite works in the book are his watercolor portraits from 1906\u20131907 of various \u201ccharacters\u201d from the Paris streets: La Pierreuse<\/i>, Le Militaire<\/i>, Fille de Joie<\/i>, Le Terrassier<\/i>. In the figures\u2019 heavy brows and deep shading, they strike me as a strange combination of William P\u00e8ne du Bois\u2019s drawings of bears and of Eric Powell\u2019s The Goon<\/i>. Hopper\u2019s rather fashiony pen-and-ink sketches\u2014pages of Figures in Hats<\/i>, Man with Moustache and Women in Dresses and Hats<\/i>, Diver, Sailors, Male Figure, and Arm<\/i>\u2014are also wonderfully chaotic and occasionally bizarre. \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Summer, for me, is a season of\u00a0shared pleasures. Mine culminated in a series of text messages and\u00a0Snapchats\u00a0from Turkey as my friend allowed me to (vicariously) read Infinite Jest<\/i><\/a>\u00a0for the nth time. As I received her images of the book knifed into four sections (one completely footnotes)\u2014for mobility\u2019s sake\u2014one footnote made a particular impression: \u201cBut even the first to quail and jump has jumped. Far beyond prohibited, not to jump at all is regarded as impossible. To \u2018perdre son coeur<\/i>\u2019 and not jump at all is outside le Jeu<\/i>\u2019s limit.\u201d\u00a0\u2014Taylor Lane<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eugene Lim\u2019s latest novel, The Strangers<\/em><\/a>, is a puzzle\u2014or, maybe more accurately, a one-way mirror; one may not always understand the words and actions of the set of twins the story follows but, nonetheless, they communicate. A publisher searches for just the right shirt and falls in love; a filmmaker hopes for a break; a young man is arrested for vandalizing posters of the president of a paranoid nation; a woman works a missing-persons case on a noncommercial cruise ship. This literary cabinet of curiosities may take you down some strange paths, but I enjoyed the entire trip. \u2014Justin Alvarez<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could not put down Chicago Review<\/i> 57:3\/4, reading its rich contents in one sitting, and have been eagerly anticipating the next issue. 58:1<\/i> will feature poetry by Lisa Jarnot and an essay on translation by Nathana\u00ebl, among other things. Preview some of the issue content and order here<\/a>. \u2014Kate Rouhandeh<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the place that impoverishes me but I who bring my own sense of poverty, of loss, to the place,\u201d writes Marco Roth in his haunting memoir, The Scientists<\/em><\/a>. Roth rightly terms the book \u201ca family romance,\u201d and this is the right word: as much a story of the meaning of love, and loss, as it is one specific account of a family secret and its consequences. \u2014Sadie Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n
