I was thirty-four, and I\u2019d been having a lot of doubts about the direction my life was taking<\/a> \u2026 Now a glimmer appeared before me of a totally different way of being than any I had imagined, a life with clear rules and duties that you followed, in exchange for which you were respected and honored and safe. You had children\u2014not maybe but definitely. You didn\u2019t have to worry that your social value was irrevocably tied to your sexual value. You had less freedom, true. But what was so great about freedom? \u2026 Travelling alone, especially as a woman, especially in a patriarchal culture, can be really stressful. It can make you question the most basic priorities around which your life is arranged. Like: Why do I have a job that makes me travel alone? For literature? What\u2019s literature?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><em>Infinite Jest <\/em>turned twenty yesterday, and Tom Bissell has given it an astute new appraisal: \u201cIn interviews, Wallace was explicit that art must have a higher purpose than mere entertainment: \u2018Fiction\u2019s about what it is to be a \u2026 human being.\u2019 And here, really, is the enigma of David Foster Wallace\u2019s work generally and <em>Infinite Jest<\/em> specifically: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/02\/07\/books\/review\/everything-about-everything-david-foster-wallaces-infinite-jest-at-20.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">an endlessly, compulsively entertaining book that stingily withholds from readers the core pleasures of mainstream novelistic entertainment, among them a graspable central narrative line, identifiable movement through time and any resolution of its quadrumvirate plotlines<\/a> \u2026 Made-up words, hot-wired words, words found only in the footnotes of medical dictionaries, words usable only within the context of classical rhetoric, home-chemistry words, mathematician words, philosopher words\u2014Wallace spelunked the O.E.D. and fearlessly neologized, nouning verbs, verbing nouns, creating less a novel of language than a brand-new lexicographic reality.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In the interest of evenhandedness, please note that the novel has earned, on Amazon, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2016\/02\/01\/one-star-reviews-of-infinite-jest\/#tqebzSkooqqX\" target=\"_blank\">a large share of one-star reviews<\/a>, and these disappointed readers deserve their say, too. \u201cIf you\u2019re trying to make sense of a bunch of mumbo-jumbo then by all means place this one in your shopping basket,\u201d one happy customer wrote. \u201cHe is a literary bully,\u201d another reader said. And: \u201cDidn\u2019t know it was 1000 pages. Too hard to hold. Bought one for my son and he felt the same way.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Paper: it\u2019s good for writing, yes, but\u2014did you ever think of this?\u2014it\u2019s also good for <em>decorating<\/em>. The new <em>Anthology of Decorated Papers<\/em> compiles some fine examples of all the things people have done with paper besides writing on it, which is, when push comes to shove, <em>boring<\/em>. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/270188\/the-humble-art-of-decorated-paper\/\" target=\"_blank\">Much of the collection of over 3,500 papers focuses on book endpapers\u00a0and other publishing ephemera<\/a>.\u00a0There are\u00a0also wrappers, backs of playing cards, currency paper, wallpaper, musical instrument covers, and other examples of the\u00a0medium, mostly dating from the\u00a0sixteenth to twentieth centuries.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>I like to say that magazines are dying because it makes me look smart and chicly pessimistic. And I have to imagine my forebears felt the same way. People have been saying that magazines are dead more or less since they were born. Evan Ratliff writes, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/evan.atavist.com\/the-life-and-death-and-life-of-magazines\" target=\"_blank\">We are not the first generation to witness the death of great magazine writing. That bell began tolling, some would say, as far back as 1911<\/a>, when a run of unprofitability forced Samuel S. McClure to sell off\u00a0<em>McClure\u2019s<\/em>\u2014founded in 1893 \u2026 When\u00a0<em>Vanity Fair\u00a0<\/em>came (in 1913) and went (in 1936), it was only a hint of the carnage that the era of radio would bring. We lost the titanic trio of\u00a0<em>Scribner\u2019s<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Forum<\/em>,\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Liberty<\/em>\u2014you remember them, of course\u2014not to mention\u00a0<em>Living Age<\/em>. When the <em>Delineator\u00a0<\/em>went from over two million subscribers in 1929 to suddenly ceasing publication in 1937, the writing was on the wall.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In which Elif Batuman, visiting Turkey, puts on a head scarf and begins to rethink some things: \u201cWhat if I really did it?
