And just in case you were worried, <em>The Hollywood Reporter <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/elena-ferrantes-neapolitan-novels-get-863283\" target=\"_blank\" data-track=\"Body Text Link: External\">reports<\/a> that Ferrante herself will be involved in the production of the series, and it will be shot in Italy.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>With his Jack Reacher thrillers, Lee Child writes what are certifiably\u2014at least according to <em>Forbes<\/em>\u2014the most addictive novels in all of commercial fiction. In this, Christopher Tayler writes, Child owes a debt to Donald Westlake, an earlier thriller writer with a formula that varied in intriguing ways: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/02\/09\/christopher-tayler\/reacher-v-parker\/\" target=\"_blank\">Westlake was hailed as a master by John Banville and Stephen King, but he never troubled the bestseller lists, and it\u2019s part of [his series protagonist] Parker\u2019s charm that he\u2019s a bit of a cult property, a creature of the drugstore paperback carousel rather than the airport bookstore<\/a> \u2026 Luc Sante\u2014who published one of the first serious appraisals of the Parker books in 1985\u2014argues persuasively that the master theme of professionalism is as much writerly as criminal. Westlake said that he devised the series because he wanted to write about \u2018a workman at work\u2019, and the books offer a double lesson, showing not only, say, each step in the process of breaking though a Sheetrock wall with a claw hammer, but also how to turn the process into mesmerizing fiction.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In the fifties and sixties, you couldn\u2019t step into an East German bookstore (and clearly I speak from experience) without encountering the work of <a href=\"http:\/\/p-exclamation.com\/exhibitions\/ost-und-oder-west-klaus-wittkugel-and-anton-stankowski-curated-by-prem-krishnamurthy-and-cay-sophie-rabinowitz\/\" target=\"_blank\">Klaus Wittkugel, one of the GDR\u2019s most prominent graphic designers<\/a>. A new exhibition in New York collects his striking book designs and propaganda posters. If you doubt his significance, just have a look at this unstinting praise from none other than the East German State: \u201cFor nearly every important political event in the history of our Workers\u2019 and Peasants\u2019 State, there exists an artistic statement by Wittkugel, who, through his work, has contributed considerably to the new orientation of our applied graphics.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The author photo, once the foundation of any decent book-publicity campaign, has seen some changes in the Information Age\u2014some might wonder if there\u2019s really any reason for it at all anymore, when you just Google an author and find pictures by the dozen. But when Matthew Shaer saw Sven Birkerts\u2019s author photo, he felt something different. \u201cIts anomalousness shook me: If the vast majority of author photos fit into one of a handful of standard poses\u2014the Fist-on-Chin (conveying thoughtfulness), the Stare-Out-Window (inner depth), the Icy Stare (strength), the Hearty Laugh (confidence!), etc.\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theawl.com\/2016\/02\/what-was-the-author-photo\" target=\"_blank\">here was an author photo that threw centuries of literary convention in our face<\/a>. Here was a man who was <em>not even fully dressed<\/em> in his author photo.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In which Alice Gregory ventures to the shadow of Geneva, with a friend and a ten-week-old baby: \u201cMalka is in the other room pumping, \u2018like a cow.\u2019 She returns and tells me about a Scandinavian balloon that you insert into your vagina for ten minutes per day for the last month of pregnancy. If you do this, she promises, you won\u2019t need stitches. Malka is full of advice that I don\u2019t need but want anyway. <a href=\"https:\/\/nplusonemag.com\/online-only\/online-only\/in-the-shadow-of-geneva-eating-dry-bread\/\" target=\"_blank\">We talk about lots of things up there in the mountains: Buchenwald, deviant sex, how Italians sound like roosters when they try to sing lieders<\/a>. They use too many vocal effects, apparently. Or, as Malka says, \u2018lots of cream all over.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been holding off on reading Elena Ferrante\u2019s Neopolitan
