You\u2019ll find that a well-placed bet, or even a poor one, can bring a certain frisson to even the fustiest book prizes: \u201cI allotted a budget of \u00a3100 for the Nobel and Booker combined. My rule was that, with one exception, any winner among the bets I placed had to win me back at least my entire stake. I tend to make three categories of bet: (1) a likely winner; (2) a writer I really admire who\u2019s also a patriotic favorite; (3) a writer I\u2019ve reviewed negatively. There\u2019s often overlap between categories 1 and 3 \u2026 Philip Roth has 8-to-1 odds, but I\u2019ve given up on him since he gave up writing books. He seems cursed by Stockholm. I put the rest of my Nobel money on Marilynne Robinson (\u00a34 at 25-to-1) and Don DeLillo (\u00a310 at 50-to-1).\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Or you can rage against the arts-and-culture machine with a nonviolent protest, as these enemies of Renoir\u2014who\u2019s plainly the shittiest of the Impressionists\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/names\/2015\/10\/05\/renoir-haters-picket-outside-museum-fine-arts\/e0ybbZMdhVclxN01wfmaYM\/story.html\" target=\"_blank\">have done outside Boston\u2019s Museum of Fine Arts<\/a>. \u201cThe rally, which mostly bewildered passersby, was organized by Max Geller, creator of the Instagram account\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/renoir_sucks_at_painting\/\" target=\"_blank\">Renoir Sucks at Painting<\/a>, who wants the MFA to take its Renoirs off the walls and replace them with something better. Holding homemade signs reading \u2018God Hates Renoir\u2019 and \u2018Treacle Harms Society,\u2019 the protesters ate cheese pizza purchased by Geller, and chanted: \u2018Put some fingers on those hands! Give us work by<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Paul Gauguin!\u2019 and \u2018Other art is worth your while! Renoir paints a steaming pile!\u2019\u201d<\/li>\n<li>As unrest seizes the globe and the model of the nation-state faces collapse, theorists are frantically debating the fate of geopolitics\u2014but no one is worrying about the video-game designers. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/culture\/games\/2015\/10\/how-will-future-videogame-makers-design-grand-strategy-game-about-21st-century\" target=\"_blank\">How are they supposed to make a decent historical strategy game when no one knows what it looks like to win the twenty-first century<\/a>? \u201cIn the twenty-first century grand strategy game, we wouldn\u2019t be looking to conquer the world, we wouldn\u2019t be looking to buy it and we wouldn\u2019t be looking to leave it in our technological wake either. So what does that leave? \u2026 Perhaps we\u2019re destined to nestle into a historically obscure crack between the tumult of the twentieth\u00a0century and something spectacular or horrible yet to come. It is nice to think, however, that the times we live in are at least interesting and that maybe we\u2019ll get to see it all laid out in a game one day.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Francine Prose looks at the frightening but tender psychology underpinning Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019s new film, <em>The Lobster<\/em>, which \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/blogs\/nyrblog\/2015\/oct\/06\/totalitarian-love-lobster-yorgos-lanthimos\/\" target=\"_blank\">posits a dystopian near-future in which it has become illegal not to be part of a couple<\/a>\u201d: \u201cLanthimos\u2019s films often contain such disturbing moments of unexpected, startling violence that people who have never been able to watch Sophocles\u2019s <em>Oedipus Rex<\/em>\u00a0to the end might be wise to spare themselves. Like Sophocles, Lanthimos understands that sudden self-mutilation generates a particular kind of adrenaline in the viewer. Consequently, the director\u2019s fans learn to brace themselves every time one of his characters stands in front of a mirror.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Dude: Creedence. Creedence Clearwater Revival. <em>There<\/em>\u2019s a band. I mean, that\u2019s a band for everyone, a band for all times!
