But fictional drugs\u2014<em>those <\/em>are some drugs. <a href=\"http:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/read\/soma-spice-and-substance-d-a-history-of-drugs-in-science-fiction\" target=\"_blank\">A tour of drugs in fiction<\/a> suggests, among other things, that we\u2019ve been disappointingly unimaginative in choosing names for actual drugs: Where can we find the likes of \u201cmoloko plus\u201d or \u201cThe Diabolical Drug\u201d in day-to-day life? And where, in fiction, can we find a drug that isn\u2019t a metaphor for our dumb ambition? \u201cWe all want to be stronger, sexier, more formidable; taking a synthetic shortcut, in drug fiction, is rarely a good idea \u2026 That\u2019s the commonality throughout all of our mind-warping fictions: they\u2019re mostly depictions of our hubris. They skewer our persistent belief that there is some pill, some plant, some substance that could cure everything for us, fix things.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, the explosion of narrative food writing seems to have helped everyone but the service staff: there are no signs of labor to be found. \u201cContemporary cookbooks devote as much energy to their narrative or expository content as they do to providing recipes; they tell stories, that is, rather than merely instruct. Despite this impressive reach, however, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicbooks.org\/\/multigenre\/on-writing-and-restaurant-labor\" target=\"_blank\">you have to read hard, and most often in vain, to catch glimpses of waiters, dishwashers, or line cooks<\/a> \u2026 If one were to do the impossible, and take food criticism seriously, we would have to imagine a restaurant as a kind of lively phantasmagoria, where food and beverage enter the purview of the critic as if of their own volition. It is the staging ground for the most classic forms of commodity fetishism.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in TV nostalgia: from 1947 to 1957, a live TV show called <em>Kukla, Fran and Ollie <\/em>attracted some four million viewers each night, in prime time. Its secret: puppets. \u201cIt revolved around the antics of the Kuklapolitan Players, a theater company made up of one human\u2014radio actress and vocalist Fran Allison\u2014and a dozen puppets, all of which were animated by the show\u2019s creator, Burr Tillstrom. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/arts\/culturebox\/2015\/02\/kukla_fran_and_ollie_the_gentle_puppets_that_bewitched_america_in_the_1950s.single.html\" target=\"_blank\">The puppets talked and danced and sang on a small stage while Allison stood in front of it and talked and danced and sang with them<\/a> \u2026 <em>Kukla, Fran and Ollie <\/em>created a new, gentle intimacy with its audience, one shaped by routine but not bound by formula, in which it was always possible to be delighted or moved. Perhaps it\u2019s less that it\u2019s strange for adults to feel strongly about children\u2019s television and more that we\u2019ve coded such qualities as childlike.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Mary-Kay Wilmers on Marianne Moore: \u201cIn place of a diary she kept a notebook \u2026 She didn\u2019t use it to write about her feelings or about herself. She was interested in the fate of her poems, not in the mood she was in. Her mother had warned against introspection; consciously or unconsciously, she\u2019d taken the lesson to heart. Or perhaps she didn\u2019t need a lesson. Ideas, attitudes to this and that were more rewarding, and more fun to think about and make fun of, even her own. But words principally gave her pleasure. Sentences, metaphors, tropes, her own\u2014she worked constantly at them\u2014and other people\u2019s, including her mother\u2019s, were noted down and reappear in the poems, which borrow many of Mary\u2019s mannerisms as well as those of the home language more generally: not its sentimentality but its histrionic tone and nursery d\u00e9cor and its tendency to metonymise and otherwise play the figures of speech. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/v37\/n23\/mary-kay-wilmers\/what-a-mother\" target=\"_blank\">Like Wallace Stevens, whom she much admired, she made jokes, and even more than in Stevens\u2019s case, the jokes were sly, hardly perceptible, there for her own pleasure<\/a>. Yet for all the ironies, visible and invisible, some of the poems even have a moral.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The artist Ana Mendieta, a Cuban \u00e9migr\u00e9 who died thirty years ago, is at last getting her due: \u201cThe young and promising Cuban-American artist fell to her death in September 1985 from the 34th-floor window of her Greenwich Village apartment; her newlywed husband, legendary sculptor Carl Andre, was indicted, tried, and eventually acquitted of her murder \u2026 [Mendieta] used her own body as a major component of her artwork. Her films and photos often used her sometimes naked form as subject and many had deep, earthy, bold colors and natural but stark shapes and elements. She used sticks and blood and dirt and plants\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/observer.com\/2015\/11\/three-decades-after-her-sordid-death-ana-mendietas-work-is-finally-getting-its-due\/\" target=\"_blank\">her work has the feeling of a pagan ritual. It is somehow both haunting and life-affirming<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drugs in the real world are okay.
