Here, from 2013, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openculture.com\/2013\/10\/david-bowies-list-of-top-100-books.html\" target=\"_blank\">is a list of his hundred favorite books<\/a>, including DeLillo\u2019s <em>White Noise<\/em>, Spark\u2019s <em>The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie<\/em>, and, yes, <em>The Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s collected Writers at Work interviews,\u00a0among many others.<\/li>\n<li>While we\u2019re talking music, Alex Abramovich has put in a good word for that most maligned of instruments, the saxophone, which has for too long been discounted as an agent of sleaze. (Bowie used it to impeccable effect on \u201cModern Love.\u201d) \u201cA shitty thing\u00a0about standard histories of rock and roll\u2014ones that tell us that the music is half country and western, half rhythm and blues\u2014is that they always slight jazz. (To do otherwise would be to suggest that rock and roll was was being played, by black musicians, well\u00a0before Elvis Presley followed Ike Turner into Sam Phillips\u2019s studio.) But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/01\/08\/alex-abramovich\/sleazier-sounds\/\" target=\"_blank\">the truth is that electric guitar solos are directly descended from saxophone solos via\u00a0Charlie Christian,\u00a0who defined his instrument (which was once seen as a joke among jazz musicians, much as the saxophone\u2019s a joke in rock) by being the first guitarist good enough to cop saxophone riffs in cutting contests<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>What\u2019s the point of a literary magazine today? Our editor, Lorin Stein, essays an answer: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/01\/10\/books\/review\/words-unwired.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Writing fiction is pretty much the opposite of writing a good tweet, or curating an Instagram feed<\/a>. It\u2019s the opposite of the personal-\u00ad\u00ad\u00adslash-professional writing that is now part of our everyday lives. More than ever, we need writers who are unprofessional, whose private worlds come first \u2026 By writing offline, literally and metaphorically, this new generation of writers gives us the intimacy, the assurance of their solitude. They let us read the word <em>I<\/em> and feel that it\u2019s not attached to a product. They let us read an essay, or a stanza, and feel the silence around it\u2014the actual, physical stillness of a body when it\u2019s deep in thought. It can\u2019t be faked, in life or on the page.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Not dissimilarly, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2016\/01\/can-short-stories-still-shock.html\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Lorentzen wonders about the role of the short story<\/a>, which was once the highest-paying, most robust form in fiction: \u201cthe revolutions of the past century have been absorbed by four generations of writers at work today, and that modes once heralded as avant-garde now linger among the array of strategies available to any writer \u2026 Literary fiction is at its worst when it\u2019s easy to imagine it recast as quality television or low-pressure art-house cinema. The battle between words on a page and images on a screen has long been lost.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Elizabeth McKenzie\u2019s <em>The Portable Veblen<\/em> is not, in fact, an easy-to-carry smattering of the seminal economist\u2019s musings on conspicuous consumption. It\u2019s a novel. About a woman with a fondness for squirrels. That woman\u2019s name is Veblen, and she and her husband are at odds over a furry visitor in their attic. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take long for the reader to understand that the couple\u2019s opposed feelings about the squirrel\u2014he wants to trap or kill it, she wants to make friends\u2014bespeak a deeper opposition in personality and values that might very well ruin their relationship \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/arts\/books\/2016\/01\/the_portable_veblen_by_elizabeth_mckenzie_reviewed.html\" target=\"_blank\">When Veblen cages the attic squirrel and takes him on a meandering driving trip, all the while holding conversations with him about the meaning of love and happiness<\/a>, you begin to realize that McKenzie means to blur the boundary between adorable eccentricity and actual madness.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First things first: David Bowie is dead, and the world is a worse place for it.
