Photo courtesy Bristol Old Vic<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Today in the gender binary: using data collected from e-book readers, a start-up called Jellybooks (inspires confidence, no?) has decreed that \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/mar\/08\/men-make-up-their-minds-about-books-faster-than-women-study-finds\" target=\"_blank\">men decide much faster than women if they like a story\u00a0or not<\/a>.\u201d The company\u2019s founder, Andrew Rhomberg, spoke to the<em>\u00a0Guardian<\/em>: \u201cIf an author wants to hold on to a male reader, they have \u2018only twenty to fifty pages to capture their attention,\u2019 according to the research. \u2018No room for rambling introductions \u2026 The author needs to get to the point quickly, build suspense or otherwise capture the male reader, or he is gone, gone, gone.\u201d (I didn\u2019t make it to the end of the article.)<\/li>\n<li>On her mother\u2019s side, Alex Mar is descended from Juan Ponce de Le\u00f3n: yes, Mr. Fountain of Youth himself, conquistador extraordinaire, slaughterer of innocents. Mar has taken a hard look at her ancestor: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oxfordamerican.org\/magazine\/item\/789-blood-ties\" target=\"_blank\">The currency of his name, I guess, has made him the only distant ancestor who warrants mention<\/a>. I\u2019ve heard him spoken of in two registers: in the Grimms\u2019-fairy-tales voice reserved for children, a tone that says, <em>Oh yes, it\u2019s all true and isn\u2019t it incredible?<\/em>; and in that faux-modest way of adults, that way of deliberately sounding lighthearted about a thing that makes you proud\u2014a thing you\u2019re convinced gives you an edge \u2026 Most historians seem to agree that Juan Ponce de Le\u00f3n is one of the more humane of these European settlers, treating the locals he absorbs into his enterprise more like indentured servants than slaves. But what does that mean? How thinly do we have to slice these moral distinctions to see the difference? \u2026 Do we inherit darkness, even at a few centuries\u2019 remove?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>At the Guggenheim, Francine Prose looks at the work of the Swiss duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss, whose mural <em>How to Work Better<\/em> you may have seen at the corner of Houston and Mott Streets in New York: \u201cThe kind of humor captured in the <em>How to Work Better<\/em> mural\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2016\/03\/08\/fischli-weiss-guggenheim-accidental-beauties\/\" target=\"_blank\">simultaneously playful and sincere, mingling the banal and the profound, attentive to the contradictions, ironies, and accidental beauties of the world<\/a>\u2014pervades the Guggenheim show \u2026 The two- and three-dimensional works, videos, and films manage to be rebellious without being strident, to be witty and cerebral without ever seeming pretentious or coy, to challenge traditional notions of what art is and can do, and to comment on the society in which we live without making us feel that their principal focus is provocation or attacking our politics and social order.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The Bristol Old Vic, a British theater, dates to 1766, and it has the special-effects technology to match. <a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/277053\/a-theaters-18th-century-thunder-run-rumbles-once-more\/?wt=2\" target=\"_blank\">To summon the sound of thunder, for instance, they roll a bunch of wooden balls down a pine-pitch chute built into the rafters<\/a>. This \u201cthunder run\u201d had been out of commission since 1942\u2014but now it\u2019s back: \u201cTheater historian\u00a0David Wilmore was enlisted to carry out test runs, and over three days the Bristol Old Vic technical team learned how to use the old-fashioned sound device \u2026 Most thunder runs disappeared with the advance of new technology, and other theaters used less cumbersome methods from the start, like metal thunder sheets rattled offstage. These were often joined by\u00a0rain boxes, which consisted of dried peas rolling through a long structure\u00a0with\u00a0ledges nailed inside, and a\u00a0wind machine,\u00a0featuring\u00a0a rotating cylinder of wooden slats covered with fabric.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>What if critics dropped the whole burdensome critical apparatus\u2014the long ledes, the cool authority, the markers of taste\u2014and told us about their dreams? Reviewing Rebekah Rutkoff\u2019s <em>The Irresponsible Magician<\/em>, one critic sees a way of casting off the constrictions of the book review: \u201cI dream, sometimes, that I am reading\u2014just reading\u2014and as I approach the lower pages of a long PDF, my computer\u2019s battery flashes an urgent red. My more exciting dreams lead me on quests to find some precious object or escape some nefarious force. It\u2019s the normal sort of dream-stuff, but for one crucial thing: <a href=\"http:\/\/thenewinquiry.com\/essays\/naked-criticism\/\" target=\"_blank\">my dreams always unfold in cavernous and deserted buildings. In my dreams I navigate endless corridors, traverse indoor gardens, and paddle through underground canals. The landscapes I dream up resemble nothing more than malls<\/a>. Rundown, or even abandoned malls \u2026 Commerce snakes its way into each dream-mind\u2019s working\u2014snakes in, loops round fragments of sensation and assembles them as sense. It urges us\u2014as do family, society, language, and law\u2014toward an inner consensus.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in the gender binary: using data
