This does not sound to you a happy life, I know; but you see, that in between the crevices we stuff an enormous amount of exciting conversation\u2014also literature.\u201d Books: the eternal consolation prize.<\/li>\n<li>Subdued, black, drab, ruffled, veiled\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com\/2015\/08\/19\/dark-victorian-style-inspiration\/?smid=tw-tmagazine&amp;smtyp=cur\" target=\"_blank\">the fashions of Victorian widows have once again wandered on to the catwalk<\/a>. Rejoice. \u201cThe original moment when such styles took a somber turn was in 1861, after the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria\u2019s great love. For the last forty years of her life, the monarch wore only black and expected everyone else to follow suit. A vogue emerged for gorily erotic storytelling tinged with mysticism. The image of the sexually experienced widow was regarded as a destabilizing factor, with her mourning frocks and jet jewelry subtly advertising the charms of the bereaved to potential second husbands. Darkness, then and now, becomes her.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>And what would these fashions be without black, the official color of death? <a href=\"http:\/\/nautil.us\/issue\/27\/dark-matter\/the-reinvention-of-black\" target=\"_blank\">The history of black is a history of perfectionism, a quest to find the blackest black<\/a>, a black that could be, as the members of Spinal Tap put it, \u201cnone more black.\u201d \u201cIn the words of the French artist Pierre Soulages, black \u2018opens up a mental field all of its own.\u2019 He began his epic journey into blackness in 1947, when he started creating abstract expressionist works using a dark walnut stain to make bold slashes across canvas. By the 1950s he was working in oils, thickly smeared onto surfaces using a palette knife. And in 1979, he began a new series of works in a style he dubbed \u2018Outrenoir\u2019\u2014roughly translated as \u2018beyond black\u2019\u2014with canvases completely saturated in black.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Also back in style: gin, that most disreputable of liquors. Britain has seen fifty-six new gin distilleries open in the past two years, suggesting that it may finally have shrugged off any lingering resentment from the time of Georgian London, when \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/blogs\/prospero\/2015\/08\/history-alcohol\" target=\"_blank\">the city\u2019s fetid backstreets spawned the Gin Craze<\/a>, causing decades of soul-searching among philanthropists, politicians and magistrates about the wretched lives of the poor. Gin\u2019s reputation as the crack cocaine of its day was cemented with lurid press\u00a0tales about gin-fuelled degradation and squalor, culminating in William Hogarth\u2019s infamous 1751 engraving <em>Gin Lane<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Before <em>True Detective<\/em> the mediocre TV show, there was <em>True Detective<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/truecrime.io9.com\/the-long-life-and-quiet-death-of-true-detective-magazin-1725094095?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_twitter&amp;utm_source=io9_twitter&amp;utm_medium=socialflow\" target=\"_blank\">the mediocre true-crime rag, which ran from 1924 to 1996<\/a>. The magazine had an appetite for the lurid, which, combined with its deeply lax editorial standards, made it very successful: \u201cConsider these three not at all atypical tales of crime detection from a typical issue of <em>True Detective<\/em>: \u2018I Was Raped,\u2019 \u2018I Hit Her with the Bowling Pin,\u2019 and \u2018Sex Monster At Large\u2019 \u2026 The covers reached peaks of exploitation not seen since the \u2018shudder pulps\u2019 of the 1930s. They pictured screaming, scantily clad models frequently bound, often gagged \u2026 Editing appeared to be almost non-existent, as guidelines carefully instructed writers to leave margins wide enough so manuscripts could fit the typesetter\u2019s copy holder.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSeveral times the proper business of bed has been interrupted by mosquitoes,\u201d Virginia Woolf wrote to a friend on her honeymoon with Leonard, which does not appear to have been an unqualified success: \u201cThey bloody the wall by morning\u2014they always choose my left eye, Leonard\u2019s right ear, whatever position they chance to find us in.
