Photo via AbeBooks<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Fact: a minor independent publishing house known as the Central Intelligence Agency <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abebooks.com\/books\/features\/giangiacomo-feltrinelli-and-doctor-zhivago.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">published the first Russian-language edition of <em>Doctor Zhivago <\/em>in 1958<\/a>. It was printed in an edition of 1,160 as part of an effort to undermine the USSR. Boris Pasternak \u201cwas irritated and disappointed, because the copy the CIA had published (and also presented to the Nobel Prize committee) was not complete in its editing and was full of errors \u2026 The CIA-Mouton editions were bound in nondescript, blue cloth covers, and the CIA surreptitiously distributed copies among Soviet visitors to Expo \u201958, the Brussels World\u2019s Fair. The rationale was that not only would the novel\u2019s content cause outrage among Soviet citizens, but that also seeds of doubt would be planted when it came to light that the government had refused to allow publication of a novel by Russia\u2019s most respected and celebrated writer.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The public stage today cries out for figures like Gore Vidal and William F.\u00a0Buckley, examples of an extinct class of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/daily\/intelligencer\/2015\/07\/best-of-enemies-buckley-vidal.html\" target=\"_blank\">celebrity intellectual<\/a>.\u201d Their 1968 debates qualified as a legitimate TV event, and the medium hasn\u2019t seen anything like it in decades: \u201cVidal and Buckley were both patrician in manner, glamorous in aura, irregularly handsome, self-besottedly narcissistic, ornate in vocabulary, casually erudite, irrepressibly witty, highly telegenic, and by all accounts great fun to be around \u2026 Also, they warmly hated each other \u2026 The antipathy was personal at root, perhaps even psychosexual.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Yeah, the Internet\u2019s cool and fast-paced and totally au courant, but at the physical level it\u2019s not terribly different from telegraphy. <a href=\"http:\/\/moreintelligentlife.com\/content\/places\/charlie-mccann\/proto-internet\" target=\"_blank\">A map from 1877 shows the locations of copper telegraph cables around the world<\/a>; it bears more than a passing resemblance to a map of the fiber-optic cables that connect the Internet. \u201cEverybody thinks global technology is wireless \u2026 But it\u2019s only wireless to the nearest base station or cell-phone tower. The rest of the way, it\u2019s happening at the physical level. There\u2019s wire and cables that link back to all these massive servers. The Internet is not a cloud \u2026 it\u2019s under the ocean.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Claudia Rankine\u2019s poetry collection <em>Citizen: An American Lyric <\/em>doesn\u2019t seem a natural candidate for adaptation to the stage. But Stephen Sachs has adapted it nonetheless, and it opens next month in Los Angeles: \u201cMy stage adaptation of\u00a0<em>Citizen <\/em>is not a play \u2026 Like Claudia Rankine\u2019s book, it\u2019s a collage of colliding events, fragments, vignettes, and streams of\u00a0consciousness\u00a0that blend poetry, prose, movement,\u00a0sound, music, and video images. An ensemble of six actors. Each is both a single citizen, and all citizens, interweaving. No conventional linear story, yet a powerful emotional arc. Fast-moving. Stylized \u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graywolfpress.org\/blogs\/citizen-adapted-stage\" target=\"_blank\">I hope the play makes our highly educated, professional, and privileged patrons uncomfortable in the best possible way<\/a>. I hope it gets them thinking, gets them talking, opens their eyes, like the citizen in Claudia\u2019s book who needs to put on her glasses to see what is really there.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The Guggenheim\u2019s Storylines series has writers\u2014among them John Ashbery, Helen DeWitt, Ben Lerner, and Mary Ruefle\u2014respond to works of art. Lerner, for instance, <a href=\"http:\/\/exhibitions.guggenheim.org\/storylines\/gabriel-orozco?show_response=true&amp;index=1\" target=\"_blank\">takes on Gabriel Orozco\u2019s 2012 print <em>Astroturf Collection<\/em><\/a>: \u201cThe schematic arrangements (grids) of carefully sculpted ritual objects \u2026 points to what Anita Singh has called \u2018the surrender of science,\u2019 a declining belief in the adequacy of existing regimes of knowledge in the face of planetary upheaval.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: a minor independent publishing house known as the Central Intelligence Agency published the first Russian-language edition of Doctor Zhivago in 1958.
