They were ranked 12th and 20th. Despite decisively trailing Serena on the tennis court (Serena leads in their head-to-head matchups 18\u20132, and has 21 majors and 247 weeks at No. 1 to Sharapova\u2019s five majors and 21 weeks at number 1), Sharapova has a financial advantage off the court \u2026 There is another, perhaps more important, discussion to be had about what it means to be chosen by global corporations. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/08\/30\/magazine\/the-meaning-of-serena-williams.html\" target=\"_blank\">It has to do with who is worthy, who is desirable, who is associated with the good life<\/a>. As long as the white imagination markets itself by equating whiteness and blondness with aspirational living, stereotypes will remain fixed in place.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Kingsley Amis, says Rachel Cusk, approached the short story as a kind of journeyman, self-consciously avoiding any rhetoric about the form\u2019s high modernist possibilities: \u201cHis own stories, he said, were mere \u2018chips from a novelist\u2019s work-bench\u2019 \u2026 With his talk of product and workbenches, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newrepublic.com\/article\/122584\/todays-literary-culture-macho-enough-kingsley-amis\" target=\"_blank\">Amis is trying to create the image of the writer as an ordinary worker<\/a>, to dispel art\u2019s associations with foppishness and pretentiousness and self-aggrandizement \u2026 It is as though, in the modernist possibilities of the short story, he perceived a threat both to his masculine and his writerly identity; yet for a generation of American male writers emerging contemporaneously with Amis, the short story was a sort of \u2018working man\u2019s\u2019\u2014indeed almost a macho\u2014form.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Reader, I implore you to take a moment out of your day to consider the seagull\u2014it is, now as ever, among our most maligned birds, and the root of our hatred for them is deep and etymological: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/blog\/2015\/08\/24\/mary-wellesley\/pity-the-seagull\/\" target=\"_blank\">The word \u2018gull\u2019 doesn\u2019t appear in English<\/a> until the late medieval period, and its origins are unclear. It\u2019s probably a loan-word from the Cornish <em>guilan<\/em> or Welsh <em>g\u0175ylan<\/em>. But in the early modern period, the seagull suffered from its homonyms, particular the verb meaning \u2018to deceive\u2019.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>At last, the year\u2019s most essential, most probing listicle: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theawl.com\/2015\/08\/literary-magazines-for-socialists-funded-by-the-cia-ranked\" target=\"_blank\">a complete ranking of literary magazines funded by or affiliated with the CIA<\/a>. <em>The New Leader <\/em>is there, and <em>The Kenyon Review<\/em>, and <em>Mundo Nuevo<\/em>, and\u2014oh, what\u2019s this? \u201cOf all the publications on this list, <em>The<\/em> <em>Paris Review <\/em>may be the one with the weakest connection to the CIA \u2026 But the record clearly shows that <em>The<\/em>\u00a0<em>Paris Review <\/em>benefited financially from selling article reprints to CCF magazines. This was far from the CCF\u2019s direct participation in management of <em>Der Monat <\/em>or <em>Encounter<\/em>, but <em>The<\/em> <em>Paris Review<\/em> did derive some benefit from the CIA, and there is circumstantial evidence that this affected the choices of authors for its interview series. In a way, the <em>Paris Review<\/em> case shows how difficult it was for \u2018apolitical\u2019 highbrow literary periodicals to get through that period of the Cold War without some form of interaction with the CIA.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Garth Greenwell has spent many hours with Lidia Yuknavitch\u2019s sex scenes, and has emerged a wiser, richer person for it: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-wild-remarkable-sex-scenes-of-lidia-yuknavitch\" target=\"_blank\">Yuknavitch forces us to see the body in all its physicality, its flesh and fluids and excretions<\/a>, and she depicts scenes of sex, including fetishistic and sadomasochistic sex, that are brutally visceral. Yuknavitch\u2019s sex scenes are remarkable among current American novelists, not just for their explicitness but for the way she uses them to pursue questions of agency, selfhood, and the ethical implications of making art.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claudia Rankine on Serena Williams, black excellence, and the strange status conferred by corporate largesse: \u201cThe London School of Marketing (L.S.M.) released its list of the most marketable sports stars, which included only two women in its Top 20: Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.
