Bachelorhood became the paragon of manly existence\u2014even though most of <em>Esquire<\/em>\u2019s readers were married. \u201cBecause <em>Esquire <\/em>relied on corporate advertising to continue existing, overthrowing corporate hierarchy and stratification didn\u2019t factor into their discussions of masculine rejuvenation \u2026 women were presented as an obstacle to men\u2019s success at entertaining, which reinforced the theory that women were ultimately responsible for men\u2019s inability to control their lives.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>People love to hate the Middle Ages\u2014such benighted centuries, those were, full of blood and swine and religious drudgery! Well, people are fools: the medieval era was every bit as culturally rich as any other. They gave us \u201ccastles, cathedrals, Italian and Flemish and Byzantine art, printing, plainsong, and parliaments, not to mention universities. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/archives\/2015\/jul\/09\/two-cheers-middle-ages\/\">Yet the black propaganda of Voltaire, Hume, Kant, and Mark Twain remains suspended in the air like soot<\/a> in the old factory towns, while intellectuals crow over the birth of \u2018modernity\u2019 like fancied fighting cocks.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>James Salter had been corresponding with Sally Gall for more than a year, working toward an extended interview\u2014the final edits were en route to him when he died a few weeks ago, and now the transcript has a new resonance. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/bombmagazine.org\/article\/661979\/james-salter\">Style is really more than a particular voice or way of writing<\/a>,\u201d Salter says. \u201cIt presents an entire subjectivity. In a sense, it determines what can be written \u2026 Style is the writer.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/before-moby-dick-there-was-two-years-before-the-mast-180955766\/?utm_source=twitter.com&amp;no-ist\" target=\"_blank\">One of America\u2019s earliest literary hits<\/a> was <em>Two Years Before the Mast<\/em>, Richard Henry Dana Jr.\u2019s 1840 chronicle of his transformative stint as a sailor onboard the <em>Pilgrim<\/em>. The memoir left a deep mark on Melville, who called it \u201cunmatchable\u201d; today it\u2019s remembered as \u201ca model of reportage, rife with the nautical jargon of a specialist and an anthropologist\u2019s descriptive mastery of life aboard ship and in the <em>Pilgrim<\/em>\u2019s then-exotic ports of call.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>What\u2019s the role of handwriting in the age of the touch screen? \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/penguinrandomhouse.ca\/hazlitt\/feature\/whats-point-handwriting\" target=\"_blank\">Handwriting is profoundly bodily<\/a>. Like an exaggerated, intensified version of the sweeps and swipes we use on a tablet, writing by pen can make muscles ache. Write while crying and one\u2019s hand becomes shaky, write with excitement and watch the swirls and loops of one\u2019s arcs become wild\u2014an inky neurochemical expression that type just can\u2019t replicate or capture.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In postwar America, magazines like Esquire and Playboy helped to shape our concept of the bachelor: an unfettered man, a man in complete control of his life, a man who helped to preserve conventional masculinity even as he fretted over his appearance and his home decor.
