The End of Books Coverage at the Washington Post
[ad_1] There are still plenty of places to read about literature, many of them excellent.

Read MoreEmerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” Is Extravagantly Superficial
[ad_1] Catherine and Heathcliff—now played by Robbie and Elordi—will prove each other’s undoing as well. Fennell teases out the tricky evolution of the characters’ deep bond, from steadfast sibling affection toward a combative, quasi-incestuous desire.

Meanwhile,…

[ad_1] In the far corner of the Halle, there’s a dim glow. Your job, you realize, is to grope your way toward that light, which reveals itself to be a projector beam hitting a colossal screen, almost nine hundred square feet.

Read MoreThe Eighty-Six Wants You to Want In
[ad_1] Exclusivity, like any product, gets more valuable the more people want it; it is both the cruellest and the most honest thing that a restaurant can sell. The Eighty-Six, a mega-swank steak house that opened in the West Village last fall, was, from Day One, clubby, celeb-packed, and impossible to get into—no surprise, as…
Read MoreWhat Do We Want from a Protest Song?
[ad_1] He is also sitting in front of a screen. “Am I the only one willin’ to bleed / Or take a bullet for bein’ free / Screamin’ ‘What the fuck?’ at my TV?” Lewis bellows. This oscillation between rage at one’s own powerlessness and fantasies of violence is the song’s motive force. It could…
Read MorePhotographs of Mali on the Cusp of Independence
[ad_1] We see this, for example, in an untitled portrait sometimes called “Two Ladies of Bamako.” Here, Keïta captures a pair of women—holding each other at the shoulders and the hands—dressed in traditional Malian robe-like garments called boubou. Behind them is a printed-fabric backdrop, and at their feet, a woven rug tessellated with oval patterns.…
Read MoreAnother Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree could be headed to prison
[ad_1] If I had a dollar for every time a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum has been charged with fraud, I’d have $5. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it has happened five times. By now, the Forbes “curse” has been well documented, from Charlie Javice’s JPMorgan fiasco (who was on the Under…

Read MoreAI strategies are kind of destined to fail
[ad_1] As a consultancy owner, I’ve been experimenting heavily with the headline AI applications for the better part of two years now.

Some we’re still figuring…
