The exhibition comprises sixty-some shipping containers\u2014surprisingly well suited for the purpose\u2014and, over the course of its eleven-day run, will showcase the work of more than four hundred artists. Highlights include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.photoville.com\/2014-exhibitions\/beyond-the-finish-line\/\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Haner\u2019s Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning series on Jeff Bauman<\/a> and a curated selection of James Nachtwey\u2019s work <a href=\"http:\/\/www.photoville.com\/2014-exhibitions\/james-nachtwey-30-years-time\/\" target=\"_blank\">from his thirty-year (and counting) tenure at\u00a0<em>Time<\/em><\/a>. The Photoville runs through September 28. \u2014<strong>Stephen A. Hiltner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I read David Cronenberg\u2019s debut novel, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781416596134?aff=theparisreview\" target=\"_blank\">Consumed<\/a><\/em>, I feared I was elevating its somewhat typical techno-thriller plot simply because of the filmmaker\u2019s name. It\u2019s too difficult to sum up here, but the story involves yellow journalism, Marxism, black-market organ trafficking, North Korea, 3-D printing, and sex\u2014the latter \u201cin an incredible number of varieties,\u201d as the jacket states. But I needn\u2019t have worried. Hints of what makes Cronenberg\u2019s filmmaking so unsettling and enthralling began to seep in: the detailed horror of violence and its repercussions, unexpected humor (the Marxist philosophers are named Celestine and Aristide Arosteguy), and the plot\u2019s transition from the tech world to the inner turmoil of our finite existences. As Cronenberg once said, \u201cConsciousness is the original sin: consciousness of the inevitability of our death.\u201d \u2014<strong>Justin Alvarez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this weekend\u2019s <em>Times<\/em> <em>Magazine<\/em>, along with John Jeremiah Sullivan\u2019s excellent profile of Donald Antrim, is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/09\/21\/magazine\/how-gary-harts-downfall-forever-changed-american-politics.html\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Bai\u2019s piece about Gary Hart<\/a>, a name that will fire cobwebbed synapses if you followed presidential politics in \u201987. (I didn\u2019t. I was a one-year-old.) Hart was the Democratic front-runner that year until a reporter from the <em>Miami Herald<\/em> got a tip that he\u2019d been sleeping around. As Bai writes, the <em>Herald<\/em>\u2019s sanctimonious coverage of these events\u2014or nonevents\u2014has had ramifications not just in the media but in the very essence of our political character. For fear of being crucified as Hart was, politicians no longer do, say, or believe in anything interesting; they\u2019ve purged themselves of personality, conviction, and contradiction. Buried in Bai\u2019s critique is a canny, surprisingly ardent defense of humanism: \u201cAs an industry, [the media] aspired chiefly to show politicians for the impossibly flawed human beings they are: a single-minded pursuit that reduced complex careers to isolated transgressions. As the former senator Bob Kerrey, who has acknowledged participating in an atrocity as a soldier in Vietnam, told me once, \u2018We\u2019re not the worst thing we\u2019ve ever done in our lives, and there\u2019s a tendency to think that we are.\u2019 That quote, I thought, should have been posted on the wall of every newsroom in the country, just to remind us that it was true.\u201d \u2014<strong>Dan Piepenbring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With all the sunshine we\u2019ve been enjoying in New York this September, it seems hard to believe that the autumnal equinox is almost <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/n3\/945234-fall-equinox-2014-time-date-and-definition-for-autumnal-equinox\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. As I\u2019m returning to England tomorrow, where it will probably be winter and almost definitely raining, the realization that summer is over is now sinking in. And my mental countdown was only intensified by revisiting Elizabeth Bowen\u2019s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alibris.com\/The-Last-September-Elizabeth-Bowen\/book\/3761275\" target=\"_blank\">The Last September<\/a><\/em>, a novel that centers on Ireland\u2019s Anglo-Irish community during the early twenties, when the War of Independence finally broke through their isolated bubble of tennis and tea parties. Okay, so our situations are not quite analogous. But the magnetism of Bowen\u2019s writing pulls you into a smoldering autumnal landscape that only heats up as the novel progresses, and the Irish rebels close in on \u201cthe big house\u201d and its inhabitants. Growing up as an Anglo-Irish child herself, Bowen once remarked that she grew \u201caccustomed to \u2026 being enclosed in a ring of almost complete silence.\u201d It\u2019s the breaking of this silence that <em>The Last September <\/em>captures so well, with those seasonal reds and oranges transforming into warning signs for an inevitable fall. \u2014<strong>Helena Sutcliffe<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2018The first thirty days after that performance &#8230; it hurt.
