\"Illustration_of_Sugriva_challenging_Vali_from_the_Ramayana_(c._1628\u20131649)\"<\/a>

An illustration from the Ramayana<\/i> of Sugriva challenging Vali, ca. 1628\u20131649<\/p><\/div>\n

God bless the anonymous German who published, in 1804, The Nightwatches of Bonaventura<\/em><\/a>, a novel full of bizarre comic brio, pitched perfectly and awkwardly between Gothicism and Romanticism. Nightwatches<\/em> is narrated by Kreuzgang, a poet manqu\u00e9\u2014and actor manqu\u00e9, and even puppeteer manqu\u00e9\u2014who\u2019s taken on a gig as a night watchman for a steady paycheck. He skulks about, muttering to the reader, warding off boredom by staring in people\u2019s windows and riffing on the devil. All the while he seems to suffer from some kind of mood disorder; he\u2019s acerbic where I expect him to be gentle, sententious where I expect him to be forgiving. As he observes, through curtains and windows, a succession of excommunications, thefts, murders, love affairs, and hauntings, Kreuzgang begins to charm with his lyrical cynicism. In his more aphoristic moments, he comments on our era as much as his own: \u201cThe character of the times is patched and pieced together like a fool\u2019s coat,\u201d he says, \u201cand worst of all, the fool buttoned in it would like to appear serious\u2026\u201d There\u2019s something perversely irresistible in\u00a0Nightwatches<\/em>\u2019s voyeurism and its willful profanity. A new edition is coming in October; its publisher says it\u2019s \u201cone part Poe and one part Beckett,\u201d which is apt, but I thought first of Tom Stoppard at his most playful. If he\u2019d taken some bad LSD in the German countryside, he might\u2019ve written this. \u2014Dan Piepenbring <\/strong><\/p>\n

Some time ago, on their Tumblr, the Museum of Contemporary African Diaspora featured a conversation between James Baldwin and\u00a0the\u00a0incomparable\u00a0Audre Lorde<\/a>. Originally published in Essence<\/em>\u00a0in 1984, the conversation, in this iteration, opens with Baldwin\u2019s comment \u201cDu Bois believed in the American dream. So did Martin. So did Malcolm. So do I. So do you. That\u2019s why we\u2019re sitting here\u201d\u2014to which Lorde responds, \u201cI don\u2019t, honey. I\u2019m sorry, I just can\u2019t let that go past. Deep, deep, deep down I know that dream was never mine. And I wept and I cried and I fought and I stormed, but I just knew it.\u201d It\u2019s only the beginning of a vigorous exchange about Baldwin\u2019s experience of being black in America, and Lorde\u2019s of being black and <\/em>a woman. During the women\u2019s liberation movement in the seventies, black women fought on two fronts for equal rights, and Lorde is gloriously unrelenting on that fact. \u201cEven worse than the nightmare is the blank,\u201d she tells Baldwin. \u201cAnd Black women are the blank.\u201d \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first time in almost two hundred years, the Mewar Ramayana <\/em>can be read and viewed as a complete work, thanks to the British Library\u2019s digital reunification of the beautifully illustrated manuscript<\/a>. The Mewar version of the great Hindu epic is distinguished by its richly saturated colors and its nonlinear depictions of the Prince Rama story; it was commissioned by Jagat Singh I of the Mewar dynasty in the seventeenth century. Today, the physical pages of the manuscript are divided between the British Library and several different collections in India, but the online project<\/a> allows the work to be read in full, with a few lovely supplementary materials to boot. It\u2019s that rare digital edition that succeeds by mostly staying out of the way: the focus is on the incredible hi-res images of the paintings and the original Sanskrit script, but there are also unobtrusive English descriptions (text and audio) and commentary from art historians to accompany each page. In one of my favorite illustrations<\/a>, Rama helps Sugriva overthrow Bali to become king of the monkeys. Sugriva stands outside his brother\u2019s pink confectionary palace, roaring \u201cso that the very birds fall out of the sky in fright.\u201d Rama puts an arrow through Bali, killing him. In the next panel, Rama sits jilted as the enthroned Sugriva, distracted by all the sex and wine that comes with being the monkey king, has forgotten about his greatest ally. So it goes.\u00a0\u2014Chantal McStay\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When he battled insomnia a few years ago, Qatar\u2019s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani \u201csummoned a doctor to his palace. When the doctor arrived, he immediately saw the cause of Jassim\u2019s sleeplessness\u2014the rows of television sets covering the wall, all tuned to soccer day and night. Turn off some of your televisions, the doctor is said to have told him, and your insomnia will be cured.\u201d That\u2019s from the Times<\/em>\u2019s two<\/a>–part<\/a> series on Qatar\u2019s ambition to become a global soccer power\u2014they\u2019re now set to host the 2022 World Cup, even though their population is a mere 1.8 million. (Let\u2019s not get into the accusations of bribery.) The pieces are a fascinating look at what money can buy; they take us from the \u201cdusty fields of Senegal and Kenya to the cloistered royal palaces of Qatar to a rundown stadium in a sleepy corner of rural Belgium\u201d as Qatar searches for viable players to bring to its team. Only time will tell whether these international recruits will become Qatari citizens, but according to Andreas Bleicher, Qatar\u2019s Aspire soccer program director, the \u201cnext World Cup will be \u2018our\u2019 World Cup.\u201d\u00a0\u2014Justin Alvarez<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent article in The New Yorker<\/em> explored Virginia Woolf\u2019s sense of privacy<\/a>; a current exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery seemingly does away with Woolf\u2019s privacy altogether<\/a>, delving into every detail of her life and career. It includes portraits of Woolf by Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry; an array of letters, diaries, and photographs; and even the walking stick she left behind on that riverbank. Curated by Frances Spalding and unstintingly intimate, the exhibition provides rare insights into the genius of a woman who was largely an enigma.\u00a0\u2014Yasmin Roshanian<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
