Paul Kasmin Gallery<\/a> has a show up about the Iolas Gallery, which was open from 1955 to 1987 and was helmed by Alexander Iolas. He\u2019s best remembered as the dealer who (along with William Copley, in California) helped introduce the Surrealists to the American art world; the work on view, which he originally showed, is worthy of a museum exhibition\u2014paintings by Magritte, de Chirico, Ernst, and Man Ray. But Iolas championed art that suited his taste, rather than art that was trendy, which means he liked what was, at the time, very weird stuff\u2014such as Joseph Cornell, Copley, and Takis. He gave Warhol his first gallery exhibition when the artist was eighteen, and he was the first to show Ed Ruscha in New York. In Paul Kasmin\u2019s showcase, there\u2019s a wonderfully big, ethereal painting by Dorothea Tanning and a bronze toilet in the shape of a fly (the paper is dispensed through the fly\u2019s mouth, and you can store reading material in a bin under its thorax) by Les Lalanne. My favorite, though is a hand-painted glass bottle by Copley covered with tiny blue nudes, a modern take on the Grecian urn. \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/b><\/p>\n

In our recent interview with Matthew Weiner<\/a>, the Mad Men<\/i> creator states, \u201cTo me \u2026 digressions are the story.\u201d C\u00e9sar Aira\u2019s wildly funny novel, The Conversations<\/i><\/a>\u2014recently translated by Katherine Silver\u2014is one long digression: two friends discussing an action movie argue over the inconsistency of a Rolex watch on one of the film\u2019s goatherd characters. This seemingly small error sets off an exploration of, among other topics, the reinterpretation of memory, reality vs. fiction on film, and storytelling in our \u201ctechnological state of globalized civilization.\u201d As Aira writes, \u201cWhat had seemed about to come to an end had, in fact, just barely begun.\u201d \u2014Justin Alvarez<\/b><\/p>\n

I realize I\u2019m 993 years late to this party, but Murasaki Shikibu\u2019s The Tale of Genji<\/i><\/a>, as centuries of scholars and readers know, is one of the richest and soapiest books ever written\u2014not bad for what\u2019s arguably the first novel ever. The story follows Emperor-spawn Genji as he navigates his way through the Imperial Court of eleventh-century Japan, marrying, political-intriguing, philandering, marrying again, and predating Freudian psychology by nearly a thousand years. The Penguin edition, translated by Royall Tyler, retains the high language of the original Japanese while situating the modern reader in a world in which poetry could make policy\u2014would that it could today!\u2014and the intricacies of court hierarchy could make even a Junior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade Left Officer\u2019s head spin.\u00a0\u2014Rachel Abramowitz<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just received a new translation of Louise Lab\u00e9\u2019s love sonnets and elegies. Lab\u00e9 wrote during the French Renaissance; after her death, her poems fell into obscurity until they were rediscovered in the nineteenth century. Earlier today, I flipped through its pages and landed on Sonnet 18, which brought an immediate smile to my face. It begins,<\/p>\n

\n

Kiss me, rekiss me, & kiss me again:
Give me one of your most delicious kisses,
A kiss in excess of my fondest wishes:
I\u2019ll repay you four, more scalding than you spend.<\/p>\n

You complain? Well, let me ease your pain
By giving you ten more honeyed kisses.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What it lacks in subtlety it recoups in passion. No need to compare your love to a summer\u2019s day: just bring on the kisses. \u2014Dan Piepenbring <\/b><\/p>\n

This week I reread The Journal of a Disappointed Man & A Last Diary<\/i><\/a>, by W.N.P. Barbellion (real name Bruce Frederick Cummings), who was crippled by multiple sclerosis and kept a journal from 1903 until his death in 1919. Aware that he is dying\u2014and angry that he can\u2019t find an outlet for his ambition or his amorous feelings for beautiful London women\u2014the diarist manages to be fascinated by all things in life\u2014the tines of a fork, head lice, \u201cthe bare fact of existence.\u201d This book is a little heartbreaking, but better than that, it\u2019s also very funny. Open it up on just about any page, read any sentence, and it\u2019s bound to be gold. \u2014Anna Heyward<\/b><\/p>\n

Thanks to 50 Watts<\/a>, I stumbled upon the Times<\/i> art critic Ken Johnson\u2019s comic, Ball and Cone<\/a><\/i>. Johnson describes the premise: \u201cBall and Cone encounter a series of metaphysical (and often comical) conundrums\u2014and remain side by side as they face these challenges together.\u201d For a better grasp on the philosophical playground Johnson has created with these two characters, read this great interview<\/a>, conducted by Claire Donner<\/a>. \u201cDespite their inadequacies,\u201d Johnson writes, \u201cBall and Cone have some pretty interesting adventures.\u201d\u00a0\u2014J.A.<\/b><\/p>\n
