\"Girl-Walks-Home-Alone-at-Night-review\"<\/a>

A still from A<\/em>\u00a0Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019m hard-pressed to pick a favorite moment in Ana Lily Amirpour\u2019s Iranian New Wave vampire western, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night<\/a><\/em>, which was released late last year.\u00a0It could be the opening scene, when the high-cheekboned Arash, dressed like a rebel without a cause, steals a big tabby cat. It could be the gorgeous silent scene of the transgender rockabilly character dancing with a balloon. But it\u2019s probably the scene in which our heroine, the chador-clad vampiress known only as the Girl, is pressed against a wall, floating a few inches off the ground. Or appearing to float\u2014turns out she\u2019s actually standing on a skateboard. The shot is brief, but it epitomizes what\u2019s so remarkable about the Girl: she\u2019s never quite who you expect her to be, a monster, an angel, a victim, a hero. She\u2019s all those and more\u2014she\u2019s a girl.\u00a0\u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you pull Elfriede Jelinek\u2019s\u00a0Wonderful, Wonderful Times<\/a><\/em>\u00a0off the shelf for its seemingly sunny title, you should know up front that it\u2019s ironic\u2014but that\u2019s no reason to put the novel back. Set in 1950s Vienna, it follows a gang of four teens, all of whom nourish an obsessive anger against their parents and society. From their outbreaks of brutality and cruelty, which fall somewhere between juvenile delinquency and amateur terrorism, Jelinek draws the features of a society in agony, one that refuses to come to terms with its fascist past. Rainer, the gang leader, deforms existentialist philosophy to legitimate his desire for revenge. As Jelinek puts it, once intellectual concepts have been perverted, ideas become devious and deadly weapons. And this is where she\u2019s most convincing: in demonstrating a kind of private fascism inherent in language itself, between friends, husbands and wives, parents and children. \u2014Charlotte Groult<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\"9780062364777\"<\/a>Nell Zink\u2019s new novel, Mislaid<\/a><\/em>, begins and ends with misguided stories of campus sex; its characters seldom behave plausibly; its deadpan is so pervasive that even the dialogue feels free of inflection. In short, everything Dwight Garner wrote about the book is right<\/a>. And yet if you pick it up and read from about page fifty to 130, you\u2019ll encounter some of the smartest, sharpest, saltiest stories of Tidewater Virginia you\u2019ll ever read. Zink, who says in a recent New Yorker<\/em> profile that she\u2019s \u201cpitched [her] tent outside the folds of humanity<\/a>,\u201d is gimlet-eyed when it comes to the bizarreries and grotesqueries of the South\u2014when Mislaid <\/em>is briefly at full strength, it\u2019s a bracing and mordant critique of America, more alive than almost any novel I\u2019ve read this year. \u00ad\u2014Dan Piepenbring<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the late 1930s, in Woodstock, New York, Clarence Schmidt built his one-room cabin into a labyrinthine seven-story fortress with nooks, crannies, roof gardens, and grottos decorated with pieces of aluminum foil, mirror shards, and recycled refuse. The folk artist Isaiah Zagar drew his inspiration from Schmidt in creating his Magic Gardens<\/a>, in Philadelphia\u2014a three thousand\u00a0square foot mosaic art gallery reflecting Zagar\u2019s belief that art is at the center of the world. The exhibition, which was deemed \u201ccomplete\u201d in 2008 and has been open since 2002, features an amalgam of encoded scripts in the walls, broken paintings, and reflective material littered with cultural mementos. Zagar has succeeded in making this\u2014his life\u2019s work, fourteen years in the making\u2014a literally scintillating folk-art mecca. \u2014Alexandra Rezvina<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"jonimitchel\"<\/a>In Her Own Words<\/a><\/em>, a collaboration between Joni Mitchell and Malka Marom, is an enchantingly raw book of interviews. The pair\u2019s conversations\u2014from 1973, 1979, and 2012\u2014take on everything from music to mysticism to the carcinogenic me-ness of their generation and the \u201cFrankenstein\u201d of modernity. Mitchell explains the role physical pain has always played in her creative process, from her childhood bout with polio (she recalls muttering \u201cI am not a cripple\u201d to a Christmas tree, the only gift her mother brought her during a year-long confinement) to her more recent battle with the controversial Morgellons disease. She explores the intimate relationship between art, trauma, and power. The conversations are clear eyed and uninhibited\u2014refreshing, given the lengths most celebrities go to in hiding their vulnerability.\u00a0The book brings to mind those lyrics from \u201cA Case Of You\u201d: \u201cI met a woman \/ She had a mouth like yours. She knew your life \/ She knew your devils and your deeds and she said \/ Go to him \/ Stay with him if you can \/ But be prepared to bleed.\u2019 \u201d \u2014Kit Connolly<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
