In Madame President\u2019s ticker-tape parade, her crisp oxford blows open to reveal a presidential d\u00e9colletage supported by what looks like a black lace bustier. She juggles childcare duties with required reading in a tube top. Our suspiciously youthful commander-in-chief commands the respect of her old, male associates in double-breasted pinstripes and a skirt slit up to <em>there<\/em>, hair always blown back, nary a part nor pore in sight. It\u2019s a dream within a dream: A woman makes it to the top of the political food chain with her composure, mood lighting, and sensual wardrobe intact.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Say it\u2019s 1661 and the Catholic Church has just locked you away because you\u2019re Jewish. There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll be burned at the stake. You could mope about it. Or you could do what Francis von Helmont did: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/publicdomainreview.org\/2016\/06\/01\/francis-van-helmont-and-the-alphabet-of-nature\/\" target=\"_blank\">he took his imprisonment in stride, and between trips to the torture chamber he conceived his theory of language. Usually referred to as the Alphabet of Nature, the small book outlines Francis\u2019s concept of Hebrew and his scheme for teaching deaf-mutes to speak it<\/a>. The frontispiece to the book shows Francis sitting at a table in his cell in Rome; facing a mirror, he is scientifically measuring his lips with a pair of calipers \u2026 Given Francis\u2019 belief that all true knowledge is latent in our microcosmic bodies\u2014accessible through divine revelation\u2014it is not surprising that his model of language imagines the Hebrew characters as being almost engraved inside us, physically wedded to our mouths.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>You probably read the Boxcar Children as a kid\u2014many generations have\u2014not realizing that those children were capitalist shills, seducing you with images of an illusory meritocracy: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-boxcar-children-and-the-spirit-of-capitalism\" target=\"_blank\">There remains something mildly and even pleasurably heretical about the way the Boxcar Children locate the outer limits of amusement in decorous productivity\u2014the way that, for them, there\u2019s no better use of total independence than perfectly mimicking the most respectable behaviors of adults<\/a>. They earn money, do chores when no one\u2019s watching (\u2018The children could hardly wait to put the shining dishes on the shelf\u2019), and engage in none of the mischief that other literary children take to when left to their own devices \u2026 Hard work, here, is presented as at once deviant and rewarding, and kids respond to this\u2014I know I did\u2014with their rarely united desires to be both unsupervised and good.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019ve always wished that \u201cA Supposedly Fun Thing I\u2019ll Never Do Again\u201d was a photo essay, your prayers have been answered: for his series \u201cEnd of Crisis,\u201d William Minke embarked on not one but two cruises, photographing the diversions on ships that aren\u2019t exactly state of the art. \u201cI\u2019ve always been fascinated by heterotopias and coexisting worlds,\u201d he says: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsnicethat.com\/articles\/william-minke-end-of-crisis-030616\" target=\"_blank\">After reading <em>A Supposedly Fun Thing I\u2019ll Never Do Again<\/em> by David Foster Wallace I decided to go on a journey of cruise ships because his description of on-board life sounded very bizarre<\/a> \u2026 As a traveller one can leave behind everyday life on thirteen decks of roulette tables, bingo and shopping malls twenty-four hours a day.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Indonesia is enormous, beautiful, heterogeneous, populous \u2026 but no one is bringing its literature into English, Louise Doughty writes: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/may\/28\/why-isnt-more-indonesia-literature-translated-english\" target=\"_blank\">There are some countries so vast and diverse that any attempt to summarize them feels insulting: such is Indonesia<\/a>. With a population of 258 million, it is the world\u2019s fourth most populous nation and the largest formed by an archipelago. When it was guest of honor at the Frankfurt book fair last year, it appeared under the banner \u201817,000 islands of imagination,\u2019 a phrase describing its geography but also encapsulating the complexities of representation \u2026 As yet, little of its literature has been translated into English \u2026 According to Goenawan Mohamad, Indonesia\u2019s most well-known public intellectual and founder of Tempo magazine, which was banned for a while under the Suharto regime, \u2018Asian writing is noticeable only when it comes from the site of calamity. Normally, a prolonged war, preferably one involving the U.S., or a genocide, or a tsunami, brings it to the focus of the world media, and the literary market comes
