From Barbara Miller Lane\u2019s <i>Houses for a New World<\/i>. Via <em>The New York Review of Books<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Did you know? Heterosexual men tend to enjoy sexual intercourse\u2014so much so, in fact, that even when they\u2019re not having intercourse, they sometimes wish they were. <em>Undone<\/em>, a new novel by John Colapinto, explores this fecund quadrant of the male psyche, because no one\u2019s set foot there in a while and someone needed to mow the lawn: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/04\/08\/fashion\/mens-style\/john-colapinto-literary-sex-novel-undone.html\" target=\"_blank\">By exploring heterosexual male lust, Mr. Colapinto has written the kind of novel that has gone way out of fashion<\/a>. The classics of the genre\u2014<em>Portnoy\u2019s Complaint<\/em> (Roth), <em>An American Dream<\/em> (Mailer), and <em>Couples<\/em> (Updike), among them\u2014are many decades old \u2026 Many critics and civilian readers would say\u2014and have said\u2014good riddance to priapic literature. In a 1997 essay, ostensibly a review of the late-period Updike novel <em>Toward the End of Time<\/em>, David Foster Wallace slammed\u00a0the previous generation of \u2018phallocrats\u2019 for its sex-obsessed narcissism \u2026 Colapinto said he had read the Wallace essay and largely agrees with it. But on the subject of the sex-drenched novels of Updike, Roth and the other bards of the male libido, he said, \u2018I couldn\u2019t deny that I had a lot of fun reading those books when I was younger.\u2019 In his view, there was an overcorrection.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Our Spring Revel was earlier this week, and though you might have expected some kind of superficial tribute to the wonders of the written word, you should know that our writers got real. They also described \u201ctheir less-photogenic days at the desk\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/wwd.com\/media-news\/media-features\/errol-morris-netflix-series-lawsuit-10404822\/\" target=\"_blank\">Even after thirty years, Lydia Davis said she has her off days<\/a>. In accepting this year\u2019s Hadada Award at this year\u2019s annual gala at Cipriani 42nd Street, the author admitted throwing out the written version of her speech was a big mistake, and one that left her \u2018scrawling little notes in very small handwriting on a jiggling train\u2019 en route to New York \u2026 David Szalay and Chris Bachelder, respective winners of the Plimpton Prize for Fiction and the Terry Southern Prize for Humor, also didn\u2019t exactly sugarcoat their career choice. In fact, pretty much every table had a writer in the midst of a one-person battle with the printed page. For novelist Adam Wilson, that means having a safe to lock up his cell phone in his Brooklyn home office.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A reissue of Marianne Moore\u2019s 1924 <em>Observations <\/em>reminds of its \u201cinfectious devotion to everything small\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/less-is-moore\/\" target=\"_blank\">A fresh reading of\u00a0<em>Observations\u00a0<\/em>suggests that, while Moore\u2019s descriptive powers are formidable, she is primarily a poet of argument, which is to say that she is most primarily a poet of syntax<\/a>\u2014the convolutions of her long, charismatic sentences seduce us into agreement long before we\u2019ve had time to consider the substance of the argument at stake \u2026 Read as a whole, as it was designed to be,\u00a0<em>Observations<\/em>\u00a0emerges as one of several books that in the 1920s created our lasting sense of what constitutes the modernist achievement\u2014books that court chaos through exquisite artistry: Eliot\u2019s\u00a0<em>The Waste Land<\/em>, Woolf\u2019s\u00a0<em>Mrs.\u00a0<\/em><em>Dalloway<\/em>, Pound\u2019s\u00a0<em>A Draft of XVI Cantos<\/em>, Joyce\u2019s\u00a0<em>Ulysses<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Time to ask again\u2014what were the suburbs? Two new books, <em>Houses for a New World<\/em>, by Barbara Miller Lane,<em>\u00a0<\/em>and <em>Detached America<\/em>, by\u00a0James A. Jacobs, look back at the era of Levittown and the postwar suburban-housing boom, which we\u2019re struggling to make sense of. As Martin Filler writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/2016\/04\/21\/houses-living-happily-ever-after\/\" target=\"_blank\">Both new books remind us of a time when a popular American middle-class weekend pastime was to pile the kids and in-laws into the family car and drive around looking at model houses, whether or not you were actively shopping for a new place<\/a>. Lane has found newspaper advertisements and promotional materials for subdivisions that were clearly aimed at wives (who wielded huge influence about housing decisions even though their husbands were the breadwinners) and stressed the transformational nature of life in these up-to-the-minute dwellings. A revealing example of that appeal to women can be found in a 1955\u20131957 sales brochure for Cinderella Estates, a new Anaheim, California, subdivision not far from the recently completed Disneyland. This booklet depicts a princess-like figure and regal coach next to a rendering of a sprawling ranch-style house and the words \u2018your every wish for a home \u2026 come gloriously true.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>On the poet Ocean Vuong, born in Saigon and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, whose work is \u201cinfluenced by both the plainspoken ironies of Frank O\u2019Hara and the exotic folklorism of Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/how-a-poet-named-ocean-means-to-fix-the-english-language\">Reading Vuong is like watching a fish move: he manages the varied currents of English with muscled intuition<\/a>. His poems are by turns graceful (\u2018You, pushing your body \/ into the river \/ only to be left \/ with yourself\u2019) and wonderstruck (\u2018Say surrender. Say alabaster. Switchblade. \/ Honeysuckle. Goldenrod. Say autumn\u2019). His lines are both long and short, his pose narrative and lyric, his diction formal and insouciant. From the outside, Vuong has fashioned a poetry of inclusion.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know?
