Detail from an illustration by Ellen Weinstein for the summer issue of Nautilus<\/i>, a science quarterly.<\/p><\/div>\n

I don\u2019t care if I never read another charming little book about Marcel Proust\u2014not now that I\u2019ve read Anne Carson\u2019s chapbook The Albertine Workout<\/em>. In fifty-nine numbered paragraphs (or perhaps, exercises), Carson reviews what little we know about Marcel\u2019s mistress, the most-mentioned and yet most elusive character in Proust\u2019s work. Carson\u2019s findings take us deep into the questions of what love and sex mean to Proust, and in our own lives. As the title implies, you can read The Albertine Workout<\/em> in one sitting, but you will keep feeling it for days. \u2014Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week, I discovered the Web site for Nautilus<\/em><\/a>, a science quarterly. I have yet to see the print version, but if it\u2019s anything like the online iteration\u2014elegantly and smartly designed, with illustrations that often have the look of early- to mid-twentieth-century artwork\u2014then it\u2019s worth picking up. The content isn\u2019t what you\u2019d necessary expect from a science magazine (I grew up around hardcore publications like\u00a0Nature<\/em>\u00a0and Science<\/em>): there\u2019s fiction, photography, and art, in addition to pieces on, say, evolution, lepidoptery, architecture, and ecology. I came to the site looking for Lauren Weinstein\u2019s comic strip \u201cCarriers,\u201d which she posted daily this past week. Weinstein is one of the best cartoonists at work, and this five-part story is proof of that. She and her husband are both carriers for cystic fibrosis, and the comic details her struggle in waiting to find out if her unborn child tests positive for the defect. Weinstein\u2019s characteristic humor keeps pathos at bay, and she reflects entertainingly, by way of her terrific serpentine scroll-downs, on the how and why of genetic mutations such as this one.\u00a0\u2014Nicole Rudick

What do you think when you hear the name Luis Su\u00e1rez? If you\u2019ve followed the news this week, the phrases \u201cbiting lunatic<\/a>,\u201d \u201cdelinquent toddler<\/a>,\u201d and the \u201cHannibal Lecter of soccer<\/a>\u201d might come to mind; \u201cfamily guy,\u201d \u201csuperhuman,\u201d and Uruguay\u2019s \u201cfavorite son\u201d haven\u2019t crossed the minds\u2014or lips\u2014of many sports pundits. If you\u2019re curious about understanding Su\u00e1rez beyond the memes and gifs, Wright Thompson\u2019s profile<\/a> from late last month explores the Uruguayan player\u2019s childhood and the mystery surrounding an incident when he head-butted a referee and received a red card in a youth match\u2014which may or may not be true. What really stuck with me after finishing the essay wasn\u2019t the story of the referee or the media scrutiny, but the history of Su\u00e1rez and his wife, Sofia Balbi. After the pair fell in love at fifteen, Sofia moved to Spain with her family. Su\u00e1rez, at the time working as a street sweeper, knew that he could never afford a plane ticket on his own. Instead, he dedicated himself to soccer until he became good enough to be picked up by a European team. The thing is, his \u201ccompletely irrational\u201d plan worked\u2014he played first for Groningen, then moved to Ajax and finally to Liverpool, where he now plays. He married Balbi in 2009, and as Thompson writes, \u201cHe loves his family, and soccer gave it to him, and guarantees no Su\u00e1rez will ever again pick up coins while cleaning the streets.\u201d While this romantic tale doesn\u2019t justify his actions last week, it helps explain the desperation you catch sometimes in his eyes when you watch him play, \u201csomeone who fights to win, no matter what \u2026 He bites because he is clinging to a new life, terrified of being sucked back into the one he left behind.\u201d \u2014Justin Alvarez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regular readers of the Daily<\/em> already know how\u00a0Nicole<\/a>,\u00a0Sadie<\/a>, and\u00a0I<\/a>\u00a0feel about the neglected English writer Barbara Comyns. Last week it was my turn to read her gothic novel The Vet\u2019s Daughter<\/em>. It reminded me powerfully of something Donald Antrim told The Paris Review<\/em> in\u00a0issue 203<\/a>: \u201cIn building another world through the fantastic I was making a set of rules that had to be observed, a logic that had to be carried through\u2014that I was in some ways obeying the premise of the very opening line.\u201d \u00a0\u2014L.S. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Wilton Barnhardt\u2019s Lookaway, Lookaway<\/em><\/a> is an ideal beach read, particularly if your beach of choice is south of the Mason-Dixon. Out in paperback this week, the novel is a scathing but tender satire of the contemporary South, skewering the hypocrisies that attend a regional identity in flux. Barnhardt\u2019s ensemble cast seems, at first, full of familiar caricatures\u2014a mannered matriarch, a wronged sorority girl, a faintly bigoted Civil War reenactor\u2014but his observations are so acute, and his ear so assured, that what should be a brittle, mean-spirited polemic of a novel is instead a large-hearted frolic: it\u2019s preternaturally wise about these United States and those who refer to them as such. \u2014Dan Piepenbring<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s big North Korea story was Kim Jong-un\u2019s denunciation<\/a> of that Seth Rogen movie<\/a> as an act of war\u2014it overshadowed a more interesting piece of news. The North Korean defector Shin Dong Hyuk, believed to be the only person born in a North Korean prison camp to escape from the country, gave a powerful and profound testimony<\/a> last week to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Shin has remarkably mobilized the story of his experiences as a prisoner of the totalitarian regime to raise global awareness of North Korean human rights abuses. Blaine Harden\u2019s biography of Shin, Escape from Camp 14<\/a><\/em>, chronicles, with great candor and reverence, the grim details of Shin\u2019s life growing up in a prison camp and his harrowing journey to escape. One of the most complex, devastating aspects of the book is the extreme guilt Shin harbors for coldly betraying his mother, with whom he never had the chance to build bonds of affection. You\u2019ll read it in one sitting. And as a chaser, check out Shane Smith\u2019s VICE doc<\/a>, which tracks Smith\u2019s boozy, wandering ride on the Trans-Siberian Railway to access North Korean labor camps in the forests of Siberia.\u00a0\u2014Chantal McStay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nirvana enthusiasts will recall 1993 as the year of In Utero<\/em>, but few remember it as the year Kurt Cobain collaborated with William S. Burroughs. Cobain admired the Beat Generation and held Burroughs in the highest regard\u2014so much so that he contacted the novelist about working on a record together. The result was The \u2018Priest\u2019 They Called Him<\/em><\/a>, a ten-inch record that narrates a heroin addiction in its final tailspin, infused with elements of grunge and spoken-word Beat culture. Burroughs reads impassively over Cobain\u2019s guitar: \u201c\u2018Fight tuberculosis, folks.\u2019 Christmas Eve, an old junkie selling Christmas seals on North Park Street. The \u2018Priest,\u2019 they called him \u2026\u201d This past April marked the twentieth anniversary of Cobain\u2019s death\u2014both Cobain and Burroughs are gone, but the record serves as a fitting testimony to their respective ambitions.\u00a0\u2014Yasmin Roshanian<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
