Human needs, Schopenhauer thought, are not in their essence complex. On the contrary, their \u2018basis is very narrow: it consists of health, food, protection from heat and cold, and sexual gratification; or the lack of these things.\u2019 Yet on this narrow strip we build the extraordinary edifice of pleasure and pain, of hope and disappointment!

She would go back in the late afternoon for a chicken, a lamb chop \u2018trimmed real neat\u2019 or the first cut of Delmonico steak.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Advice for biographers\u2014if you want to earn the respect of your subject\u2019s forebears, hide the dirty laundry. Henry James\u2019s first biographer, Leon Edel, won the trust of the James estate in part because of his suspicious willingness to conceal aspects of the author\u2019s sexuality: \u201cSlowly, Edel became a trusted servant of the James estate as well as James\u2019s biographer. He informed the family when a scholar he met at a conference expressed an interest in James\u2019s homoerotic correspondence. He was assured by the Houghton Library that \u2018she is certainly not going to see anything she\u2019s not supposed to see.\u2019 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/feb\/20\/colm-toibin-how-henry-james-family-tried-to-keep-him-in-the-closet?CMP=share_btn_fb\" target=\"_blank\">Edel\u2019s job was to keep all insinuations about James\u2019s sexuality at bay<\/a> \u2026 Since Edel knew he would have to deal with James\u2019s sexuality in his later volumes, he hoped that some other writer would spill the beans first so that it would, as he wrote, \u2018relieve me of the onus of \u201cbreaking\u201d the story.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>Advice for crime writers\u2014put <em>girl <\/em>in your book\u2019s title, make a little money. \u201cI have talked to other crime writers that have been urged by various professional people in their life to put the world <em>girl<\/em> in their title,\u201d Megan Abbott told NPR. \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily an issue with the content of the book itself, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/2016\/02\/22\/467392750\/the-girl-in-the-title-more-than-a-marketing-trend\" target=\"_blank\">but there\u2019s this sort of shorthand that if it has <em>girl<\/em> in the title, then I know what to expect<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Advice for movie-memorabilia collectors\u2014if you\u2019re going to shell out $4.1 million for the black statuette from <em>The Maltese Falcon<\/em>, make sure it\u2019s the genuine article first. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2016\/02\/mystery-of-the-maltese-falcon\" target=\"_blank\">Ask Hank Risan, who owns two of them and has gone to great lengths to discover their provenance<\/a>: \u201cMysteriously, there was an identical marking near the base on each of Risan\u2019s Falcons. It appeared to be two numbers: a 7 with a crossbar and a 5, each followed by a period. Could it be a \u20187.5.,\u2019 referring to the 1975 film? \u2026 Risan managed to make an appointment with Edward Baer, an assistant manager in the property department, who had been at the studio for thirty-seven years &#8230;\u00a0When they showed him one of Risan\u2019s Falcons, Baer said it was nothing like those he had designed. Baer explained that he had made the 1975 Falcons from the original 1941 mold, which he had fished out of a Warner Bros. warehouse. But the mold had deteriorated, so after using it to make a single replica out of resin, he destroyed the mold, then used the resin Falcon to make a new mold. The replicas made from this mold were scrunched forward and a little lopsided\u2014sad cousins of the original.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zadie Smith is thinking about The Polar Express 4\u2013D Experience and Anomalisa and, of course, Schopenhauer: \u201cOne way of dealing with the boredom of our own needs might be to complicate them unnecessarily, so as always to have something new to desire.
