\"thermonuclear\"<\/a>

From the cover of Elaine Scarry\u2019s Thermonuclear Monarchy<\/i>.<\/p><\/div>\n

When I discovered the work of Elaine Scarry in college, I remember thinking that her name was somehow bound up in her field of study\u2014one had informed the other. She has a new book out, and the connection has never seemed more apt. Thermonuclear Monarchy<\/em><\/a> is a badass title and a frightening one. The book is 640 pages, so I haven\u2019t read it\u2014it could be a while before I have that much time\u2014but I have been reading about<\/i> it. Nathan Schneider\u2019s essay<\/a> at\u00a0The Chronicle of Higher Education <\/i>is the best read.\u00a0Scarry is a broad thinker, pulling from unusual corners of politics, history, and culture (including, Schneider notes, \u201cthe town where [Thomas] Hobbes grew up, a mistranslation of the Iliad, marriage, CPR, the Swiss nuclear-shelter system\u201d). Thermonuclear Monarchy<\/i>, then, is \u201cless an argument that nuclear weapons should be eliminated, or how, than an entire worldview in which they have no rightful place.\u201d \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/b><\/p>\n

We all know him as The Paris Review<\/i>\u2019s trusty third baseman (\u201cWisdom\u201d<\/a> and \u201cChaos Mode\u201d<\/a> are but two of his on-the-field nicknames), but it turns out that Ben Wizner occasionally gets around to other things, too\u2014such as serving as the legal advisor to, um, Edward Snowden. (Yeah, NBD.) Listen here<\/a> as he and Daniel Ellsberg<\/a> argue in favor of the motion \u201cEdward Snowden Was Justified\u201d in a debate against\u00a0Andrew C. McCarthy and R. James Woolsey. (Really, listen\u2014it\u2019s riveting.) \u2014Stephen Andrew Hiltner<\/b><\/p>\n

Our forthcoming Art of Nonfiction interview with the British psychoanalyst and author Adam Phillips is full of literary reminiscences and references to books that have meant something to Phillips over the course of his life. One in particular has stuck with me over the past few weeks, a Randall Jarrell quote from \u201cA Girl in a Library\u201d: \u201cThe ways we miss our lives are life.\u201d Happily, it has reminded me to return to Jarrell\u2019s The Animal Family<\/em><\/a>, which I started a few months ago and put down for no good reason. (I don\u2019t even have the excuse of length\u2014it\u2019s a children\u2019s chapter book). Through the simple story of a woodsman who gathers together members of various species\u2014real and imagined\u2014to form an unconventional family, Randall touches on death, love, the pain of being alone, the strangeness of taste, the joys of language, and the terrifying calm of the wilderness. It is a lesson in what plain words thoughtfully said can evoke, perhaps the best such lesson I\u2019ve ever read in prose. My edition, and I think most others, includes beautiful Maurice Sendak illustrations that are, for Sendak, unusually pastoral\u2014not a figural representation in the lot\u2014and add much to Jarrell\u2019s story.\u00a0\u2014Clare Fentress<\/b><\/p>\n

NASCAR<\/small> was incorporated on this day in 1948\u2014exactly one hundred years after the first publication of The Communist Manifesto<\/i>. (Would that their similarities didn\u2019t end there.) On such a storied anniversary, an educated citizen has two duties. First, reread your Marx and Engels<\/a>\u2014now\u2019s as good a time as any to hone your critique of capitalism. Second, visit\u2014or revisit\u2014the thrilling world of NASCAR<\/small> romance novels<\/a>. Bonus points if you\u2019re somehow able to combine these pursuits, e.g., by writing a book that\u2019s both a critique of capitalism and a NASCAR<\/small> romance. \u2014Dan Piepenbring<\/b> <\/p>\n

For no reason other than it was given to me, and I was taking a long flight, I\u2019ve been reading Ivan Goncharev\u2019s Oblomov<\/em><\/a>, a nineteenth-century Russian novel that had heretofore eluded my grasp. The title character, who has been called \u201cthe laziest man in literature\u201d and answers \u201cNo!\u201d to Hamlet\u2019s big question, is incapable of making any decision or taking any decisive action. His life and his attempts to get anything done become a satire of the Russian nobility of the day\u2014but the novel will also comfort anyone who doesn\u2019t feel like getting out of bed on a winter\u2019s morning. That\u2019s a serious philosophical affliction. \u2014Anna Heyward<\/b><\/p>\n

Sunday, despite the Bangles song, is most decidedly not my fun day. (Laundry! Litter box! Ineludible Monday!) But from eleven A<\/small>.B<\/small>. to twelve P<\/small>.B<\/small>. EST, I get to relax and tune in to the brilliant Alexandra Manglis on Cyprus\u2019s online MyCyRadio. Manglis\u2019s show, \u201cSpinning Global Yarns,\u201d weaves together international literature, music, and even archaeology, from Charlotte\u2019s Web <\/i>to Scheherazade, Beyonce to Yma Sumac, prehistoric Venus statuettes to ancient shipwrecks. If Sunday finds you out and about, you can listen to the recorded podcasts of that week\u2019s show<\/a>.\u00a0\u2014Rachel Abramowitz<\/b><\/p>\n

I grew up in Madras, India, notable for its dosas and for the images of politicians splayed on its every public wall. I think negative space might make Indians uncomfortable, so the walls are as crowded as the streets. The latest street art trend concerns Jayalalithaa, one of two politicians among between whom the state of Tamil Nadu has been tossed like a hot potato for the past three decades. Rumor has it Jayalalitha is a lesbian; urban legend says she once swallowed an entire cow. She\u2019s a big-boned lady, and of late, her face is ubiquitous in street posters; her image can\u2019t help but go unregulated. In other words, she was born to be Tumblr-ed, and now here she is, watching you<\/a>. \u2014Nikkitha Bakshani<\/b><\/p>\n
