As <em>USA Today <\/em>reports, \u201cthe fast food chain will offer children\u2019s books instead of typical prizes through February 15,\u201d thus ensuring that young customers react with disappointment and outrage at the sight of a book where a toy should rightfully be, beginning, in these malleable minds, an inexorable and probably lifelong association between books and frustration.<\/li>\n<li>Michelle Dean looks at Robert Lowell\u2019s tempestuous marriage to Elizabeth Hardwick, characterized by an unlikely fusion of abuse and respect: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/128999\/robert-lowells-tainted-love\" target=\"_blank\">Though they were married for twenty-three years, their union was worn down by Lowell\u2019s nearly annual hospitalizations for manic depression, his endless philandering, and his alcoholism<\/a>. At the end of it, almost on a whim, he left her for the writer and \u2018muse\u2019\u2014always a loaded term, that\u2014Lady Caroline Blackwood. Then he took Hardwick\u2019s alternately furious and anguished letters to him and folded them, without her consent, into a full-length book of poetry, <em>The Dolphin<\/em>. This artifact of her humiliation won a Pulitzer \u2026 Lowell nonetheless believed that women were his intellectual and artistic equals. He spent most of his life behaving accordingly even as he treated his wives and mistresses so terribly, in romantic terms, that it was almost operatic.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Rebecca Mead rereads <em>Sexual Politics<\/em>, Kate Millett\u2019s seminal 1970 feminist text: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/sexual-politics-and-the-feminist-work-that-remains-undone\" target=\"_blank\">While Millett was publicly cast in the polarizing role of polemicist, there is often in her tone the cool, controlled archness of the literary essayist, a role she might easily have inhabited had the times not called upon her to do otherwise<\/a>. The book is suffused with a strain of very dark, angry humor, an aspect of Millett\u2019s writing that seems to have been barely noticed\u2014or was perhaps invisible\u2014upon publication. Take, for example, the way she dispatches Freud\u2019s injunction that appropriate sexual development calls for an evolution from clitoral to vaginal orgasm. She calls this \u2018a difficult passage in which Freud foresaw that many women might go astray. Even among the successful the project has consumed so much of their productive youth that their minds stagnate.\u2019 If <em>Sexual Politics<\/em> has endured, it is not just because so much of the political work it recommends remains undone, but also because it is an astringent pleasure to be in the company of Millett on the page.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In August 1915, a Jewish businessman was lynched in Marietta, Georgia. He\u2019d been convicted of murdering a thirteen-year-old girl who worked at his National Pencil Company factory, and as Christopher King writes, his story attracted a firestorm of media attention, coming to symbolize the politics of the era: \u201cIn truth, he was killed neither by a man nor by the force of men. He died in the raging flames of hatred and the resulting smoke which obscured the impartial vision of justice. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oxfordamerican.org\/magazine\/item\/717-little-graves-in-georgia\" target=\"_blank\">A murder, a botched and terribly obfuscated trial, and a tinder box of xenophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, and \u2018white rights\u2019 in post-Reconstruction Atlanta had resulted in yet another murder, the creation of the Anti-Defamation League, and the first strong resurgence of a then-dormant Ku Klux Klan since the group had disbanded in 1869<\/a>. In this time, frame-ups, coercion, forced confessions, bribery, and political corruption came into sharp focus for the \u2018grift-ridden\u2019 people of Atlanta. And it was all set to music.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOffice Space\u201d is a new exhibition\u2014yes, it\u2019s named after the movie\u2014at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts that takes on all the fun new forms of alienation to have arisen in office life this century: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/rhizome.org\/editorial\/2016\/feb\/03\/office-space-at-yerba-buena-center-for-the-arts\/\" target=\"_blank\">To believe that there is an omnipresent workplace hierarchy to critique or within which to succumb often gives more credit to management strategies than they might deserve<\/a>, as these strategies can have comparatively shorter life spans than pre-existing structures of affective labor &#8230; The soft power of the workplace is constantly inculcated by exterior power structures, as much as these power structures are\u2014and already have been, in turn\u2014informed by the dispersal of capital.
