It\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/how-the-talmud-became-a-best-seller-in-south-korea\" target=\"_blank\">the Talmud, whose unlikely role in South Korean culture<\/a> reads like something out of a counterfactual history: \u201cEach Korean family has at least one copy of the Talmud. Korean mothers want to know how so many Jewish people became geniuses \u2026 Twenty-three per cent of Nobel Prize winners are Jewish people. Korean women want to know the secret. They found the secret in this book.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Fact: book publishers don\u2019t fact-check. According to your average book contract, fact-checking is the author\u2019s problem, and the author\u2019s financial burden, so good luck. But \u201cthe status quo might shift a notch this fall, at least for a lucky few. In September, Tim Duggan Books, the editor\u2019s eponymous new imprint under the Crown Publishing Group, will be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2015\/06\/will-book-publishers-ever-start-fact-checking.html\" target=\"_blank\">the first ever to offer fact-checking as a service paid for by the publisher<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>So you\u2019re cruising west on Interstate 10, shedding the trappings of your old life for a new, free beginning in the American West\u2014congratulations! You\u2019ve undertaken a journey so iconic, and perhaps so hackneyed, that 100 billboards now speckle the highway to commemorate it. The \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com\/2015\/06\/23\/manifest-destiny-billboard-project\/?smid=tw-tmagazine\" target=\"_blank\">Manifest Destiny Billboard Project<\/a>,\u201d which stretches from sea to shining sea, examines \u201cthe way we think about aspiration and ambition, achievement and taking. It ties to everything from the capitalist impulse to notions of exploration, and to the desire to know.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In the late nineteenth century, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/culture\/2015\/06\/i-want-be-irish-nietzsche-what-bermensch-meant-bernard-shaw\" target=\"_blank\">Nietzsche\u2019s philosophy found an unexpected (if ambivalent) advocate<\/a> in George Bernard Shaw: \u201cPeople read Nietzsche for his philosophy; they go to Shaw\u2019s plays for their comedy \u2026 In the absence of God, both were seeking a purpose. There was Nietzsche\u2019s belief in struggle which Shaw acknowledged as necessary for essential improvement; there was also his attack on traditional moral values that acted as a brake on necessary change. He was clever and imaginative and sometimes original. But Shaw was not one of Nietzsche\u2019s \u2018brethren\u2019 who is urged to see \u2018the rainbow and the bridges of the Superman.\u2019\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If you were raised Catholic, your writing may well be forever inflected with Catholicism\u2014even if you leave the Church.
