The puzzle is why it is unreadable.\u201d Thus, Mark Greif in his exhilarating study <em><a href=\"http:\/\/press.princeton.edu\/titles\/10326.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Age of the Crisis of Man: Thought and Fiction in America 1933\u20131973<\/a><\/em>. By \u201cthe discourse of man\u201d Greif means the vast midcentury literature on human dignity, from <em>Being and Nothingness<\/em>, to the \u201cFamily of Man\u201d photo exhibition, to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\u2014a discourse that Greif interrogates with verve, erudition, sympathy, and suspicion, and that he follows into the fiction of our time. I\u2019ve been toting<em> The Age of the Crisis of Man<\/em> around for the last month, using a pencil for a bookmark, because there\u2019s something to underline on every page\u2014and I haven\u2019t even got to the chapters on O\u2019Connor and Pynchon. \u2014<strong>Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like many nineties kids, I received my first doses of NPR while buckled up in the backseat of my parents\u2019 car; Saturday-morning drives, often to visit my grandparents, meant one thing: <em>Car Talk<\/em>. The show has been a constant in my life ever since. (In fact, if you\u2019ve ever wondered what occupies\u00a0<em>The<\/em> <em>Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s staff on our five-hour quarterly drives to our press in Pennsylvania, look no further than the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/rss\/podcast\/podcast_detail.php?siteId=9911203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Car Talk<\/em> podcast<\/a>.) So many of the tributes to Tom Magliozzi, the elder \u201cTappet\u201d brother who died this week of complications from Alzheimer\u2019s disease, focused on his inimitable and infectious laughter\u2014and rightfully so. But the somberness of the occasion reminded me of a letter Tom and Ray once fielded from a troubled freshman at Mount Holyoke College, a young listener named Lea. (You can listen to Tom read Lea\u2019s letter <a href=\"http:\/\/stream.publicbroadcasting.net\/production\/mp3\/cartalk\/local-cartalk-796762.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>; she later <a href=\"http:\/\/stream.publicbroadcasting.net\/production\/mp3\/cartalk\/local-cartalk-796766.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">called in<\/a>\u00a0to the show.) Give them a listen and you&#8217;ll be reminded of just how much the show provided: laughter, yes, and advice about cars\u2014but also the occasional window, especially for its young listeners, into the sort of life one might aspire toward, one where the adults of the world still engage in \u201cwater-pistol fights, with whipped cream.\u201d \u2014<strong>Stephen Hiltner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t in good faith claim that Robert Altman\u2019s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0205271\/?ref_=ttqt_qt_tt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. T and the Women<\/a> <\/em>(2000) is a \u201cgood\u201d movie, but it captivates, in its quietly provocative way. Imagine the eye rolls after this pitch meeting: \u201cWell, it\u2019s this sexy, envelope-pushing comedy where Richard Gere plays a hunky gynecologist in upper-crust Dallas, but he doesn\u2019t boink his patients or anything lewd like that\u2014he just treats everyone really respectfully, including his daughters and his wife, who goes insane, in fact, because of how deeply loved she is and how well her personal needs are met.\u201d <em>Dr. T<\/em> is a farce, a riff on the \u201cBook of Job\u201d and the suffering of the virtuous; all of its women are kooky and dependent in some way on the ministrations of the good doctor, with his boundless patience and his way with the speculum. Altman wrings a lot of jouissance from his ensemble cast, especially Gere, who really does seem too sensitive for this milieu. But what <em>is <\/em>this milieu? Why are all these rich ladies so gabby, so troubled, so sad? That\u2019s where <em>Dr. T<\/em> is ultimately thwarted: in spite of its lead\u2019s genuine (and believable) reverence for the feminine, the film can\u2019t help but lapse into misogyny. It\u2019s called <em>Dr. T and the Women<\/em>, for god\u2019s sake. But right up to its positively outlandish ending, it asks questions about chivalry, materialism, and gender that not many movies would dare to touch, then or now. It\u2019s audacious filmmaking\u2014and that alone makes it worth watching. \u2014<strong>Dan Piepenbring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1892, long before the O. J. Simpson trial or the Lindbergh kidnapping, there was a court case that swept the nation\u2019s interest. It wasn\u2019t because the violence of the crime\u2014one woman publicly slashing the throat of another\u2014but the motivation: a same-sex love affair. Using love letters, archives, newspaper articles, and government records, Alexis Coe\u2019s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/zestbooks.net\/alice-and-freda-forever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alice + Freda Forever<\/a><\/em>\u00a0brings to life the story of Alice Mitchell and Freda Ward, who lived in a much too-familiar world intolerant of any relationship outside the norm. Coe\u2019s narrative covers the perceptions of sexuality, women\u2019s role in society, racial hierarchy, media manipulation, and even mental health, but she never strays too far from the heart of the story: the tragic romance between two women forty years before the word <em>lesbian<\/em> would be in circulation. \u2014<strong>Justin Alvarez<br \/>\n<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Our friend and contributor John Hodgman raked John Cleese over the coals this week at BAM. Highlights include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bam.org\/video\/2014\/john-cleese-jokes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cleese on jokes<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bam.org\/video\/2014\/john-cleese-sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hodgman\u2019s defense of American sports<\/a>. \u2014<strong>L.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You could spend years going through the archives of <em>The New Yorker<\/em>, but thanks to their Facebook page, I spent the better part of last night enjoying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/1957\/11\/09\/the-duke-in-his-domain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Truman Capote\u2019s 1957 profile of Marlon Brando<\/a>. One of my favorite sections is a past neighbor\u2019s description of Brando\u2019s New York home, one of the most insightful investigations into the mind of our greatest actor:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s as though Marlon lived in a house where the doors are never locked. When he lived in New York the door always\u00a0<em>was<\/em>\u00a0open. Anybody could come in, whether Marlon was there or not, and everybody did. You\u2019d arrive and there would be ten, fifteen characters wandering around. It was strange, because nobody seemed to really know anybody else. They were just there, like people in a bus station. Some type asleep in a chair. People reading the tabs. A girl dancing by herself. Or painting her toenails. A comedian trying out his night-club act. Off in a corner, there\u2019d be a chess game going. And drums\u2014bang, boom, bang, boom. But there was never any drinking\u2014nothing like that. Once in a while somebody would say, \u2018Let\u2019s go down to the corner for an ice-cream soda.\u2019 Now, in all this Marlon was the common denominator, the only connecting link. He\u2019d move around the room drawing individuals aside and talking to them alone. If you\u2019ve noticed, Marlon can\u2019t,\u00a0<em>won\u2019t<\/em>, talk to two people, simultaneously \u2026\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0sometimes think Marlon is like an orphan who later on in life tries to compensate by becoming the kindly head of a huge orphanage. But even outside this institution he wants everybody to love him.\u201d \u2014<strong>J.A.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOne of the striking features of the discourse of man to modern eyes, in a sense the most striking, is how unreadable it is, how tedious, how unhelpful.
