After that, you, I think, are supposed to settle down, be a good person, raise your children, and be good to your friends, which you may not have been when you were very clever, and try to atone for your cleverness. Humor has to surprise us. Otherwise it isn\u2019t funny, and, it\u2019s a death knell for a writer to be labeled humorous, because then, of course, it\u2019s not a surprise anymore, it\u2019s what expected of him. And when you come to expect humor of people, you will never get it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Last month, Oxford Dictionaries\u00a0named the \u201ctears of joy\u201d emoji its Word of the Year; now <em>Merriam-Webster<\/em> has followed suit, choosing a suffix, <em>-ism<\/em>, as its Word of the Year. Now, before you get all exercised and sit down to write an indignant op-ed about all these nonword words the dictionaries insist on force-feeding us, be advised that \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/books\/jacketcopy\/la-et-jc-merriam-webster-ism-word-of-the-year-20151215-story.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Merriam-Webster<\/em> notes that the version of <em>-ism<\/em> without the hyphen actually is a word<\/a>, specifically a noun meaning \u2018a distinctive doctrine, cause, or theory\u2019 or \u2018an oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or belief\u2019 \u2026 Last week, Dictionary.com bravely bucked this year\u2019s trend by naming a word as their word of the year. They\u00a0selected <em>identity<\/em>, citing increased conversation this year over gender and sexual identity, in large part because of former Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner\u2019s decision to come out as a transgender woman.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Fact: Frank Lloyd Wright designed a gas station. It was but one element in a vast, unrealized utopia he\u2019d planned to erect in Buffalo, New York, which remains, alas, a largely dystopian place. But in 1958, when Wright was ninety, one part of his idyllic vision found its way to Cloquet, Minnesota, and an historic gas station was born: \u201cWright had designed a house for a resident of Cloquet named R. W. Lindholm, who happened to be in the petroleum business. Wright never gave up on his utopian city, and knowing what his client did for a living, he convinced Lindholm to build a gas station that was similar in design to the Buffalo station \u2026 Wright saw the car as a way to personal freedom for Americans, so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/atlas_obscura\/2015\/12\/15\/in_1927_frank_lloyd_wright_designed_a_gas_station_it_was_finally_built_in.html\" target=\"_blank\">he gave the drivers of Cloquet what he thought that future needed in a gas station, including an observation deck where the attendants could watch for cars in warmth and comfort<\/a>.\u201d Forget Fallingwater. This is Tricklinggasoline.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI have in fact only once corresponded with anyone\u00a0\u2026 who was as good at writing letters as I am,\u201d Iris Murdoch once told the philosopher Philippa Foot. So this new book of her correspondence must be a veritable tour de force of jocularity and fluent intellect, yes? Well. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/culture\/books\/2015\/12\/amorous-intensity-iris-murdoch-s-letters\" target=\"_blank\">John Mullan hates to break it to you<\/a>, but \u201cthe brilliant thinker, witty conversationalist and powerfully idiosyncratic novelist are hardly here at all \u2026 Some have responded to the publication of these letters by depicting Murdoch as a rather shocking sexual adventuress, but this is not quite right. Really, she seems more interested in writing letters to people she found attractive than in having sex with them.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>What was the deal with Hawthorne and Melville? The heat that emanated from the hearth of their friendship was \u2026 well, hot. Melville once wrote, for example, that Hawthorne \u201cshoots his strong New-England roots into the hot soil of my Southern soul.\u201d But, as Jordan Alexander Stein notes, anyone wishing to prove some erotic intent on either writer\u2019s part has a heavy burden: \u201cWriters of the mid-nineteenth century did not have available to them the same expressive concision as those of us today who might speak glibly of topping and bottoming \u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/lareviewofbooks.org\/essay\/historys-dick-jokes-on-melville-and-hawthorne\" target=\"_blank\">Melville wrote of Hawthorne with undeniably sexy language. What proves more elusive are the feelings to which, with any precision, this language can be said to refer<\/a> \u2026 The issue, then, is whether serious scholars writing about famous authors can reasonably deign to take dick jokes as evidence.\u00a0And if we are indeed willing to take them as evidence, just how do we go about determining what kind of evidence they are?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November 1994, George Plimpton interviewed Garrison Keillor at 92Y as part of a collaboration with The Paris Review.
