For their seeming silliness, though, the tests are a strong indicator of your aptitude with languages. \u201cIt\u2019s entirely possible that the kind of intellectual agility such languages call for is a hidden strength in many students who don\u2019t know they have it. The thing that looks most intimidating might be the thing that should inspire confidence.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Fifty years after they were first published on seven-inch vinyl, rare and excellent readings from James Baldwin, John Updike, William Styron, Philip Roth, Bernard Malamud, and James Jones have been rediscovered and reissued by <a href=\"http:\/\/calliopeauthorreadings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Calliope Author Readings<\/a>. They date to a time when (a) recording technology was still gloriously analog and (b) giving readings was still a novelty, rather than self-promotional essential: \u201cCalliope began in the 1960s as a pioneering venture in the early days of literary recordings. With little more at their disposal than a passion for books, optimism and sheer nerve, three young entrepreneurs in Boston persuaded some of the most original twentieth century American authors to read from their works.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Toward the end of his life, Francis Bacon had ascended into art-world renown; he spent most of his time drinking and seething. A new memoir from Michael Peppiatt, who became the artist\u2019s \u201cscribe, drinking partner, estate agent, confidante, gatekeeper and admirer, and the recipient of lavish dinners, drinks, flats, paintings and acquaintances,\u201d captures Bacon in decline: \u201cDazzled by the endless procession of big-name wines in similar bars, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/books\/9621252\/bacon-on-the-side-the-great-painters-drinking-partner-tells-all\/\" target=\"_blank\">Peppiatt seems not to notice that Bacon repeats the same maxims again and again, almost word for word<\/a>\u2014stock phrases on painting about \u2018immediacy\u2019 and the \u2018nervous system\u2019 and a rehearsed bit on the nothingness that stretches before and after life\u2014as if prepping his initiate to write about him. Impressive once, cumulatively they are undermining, especially when heard sober.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Italo Calvino loved to go to the movies. And he put forth <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/blogs\/nyrblog\/2015\/aug\/29\/movies-my-youth-calvino\/\" target=\"_blank\">a convincing case for arriving late, too<\/a>\u2014an argument I plan to use the next time I\u2019m dragging my friends to a movie fifteen minutes after it started. \u201cItalian spectators barbarously made entering after the film already started a widespread habit, and it still applies today. We can say that back then we already anticipated the most sophisticated of modern narrative techniques, interrupting the temporal thread of the story and transforming it into a puzzle to put back together piece by piece or to accept in the form of a fragmentary body. To console us further, I\u2019ll say that attending the beginning of the film after knowing the ending provided additional satisfaction: discovering not the unraveling of mysteries and dramas, but their genesis; and a vague sense of foresight with respect to the characters.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Like many of us, Dennis Cooper loves <small>GIF<\/small>s; unlike many of us, he\u2019s written a novel in <small>GIF<\/small>s called <em>Zac\u2019s Haunted House<\/em>, and has finished another. \u201cCooper finds the <small>GIF<\/small> work \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/how-dennis-cooper-creates-fiction-from-gifs\" target=\"_blank\">weirdly very emotional<\/a>.\u2019 And with <small>GIF<\/small>s, he contends, \u2018fictional emotional displays and \u201creal\u201d displays are made indistinguishable \u2026 There is also, for Cooper\u2014and, it would, seem, much of the Internet-using public\u2014something inherently comic about <small>GIF<\/small>s. The comedy, he says, is of a particularly physical kind. He has noted before that <small>GIF<\/small>s in which real-life people fall off bunk beds or have other accidents are often edited so that we don\u2019t see the painful consequences. And yet, as the action is repeated indefinitely, with a \u2018kind of heartlessness,\u2019 the implications of the violence seep out nonetheless.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in strange testing procedures involving nonsense words: Oxford applicants in classics and oriental studies, among
