The witchy references in “Everybody Scream,” Florence and the Machine’s sixth album, feel particularly well suited to an album that charts the sacrifices that Florence Welch has made to have her work taken seriously, Grace Byron writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/E2vRoL

Finally picked up a copy of @emotrophywife.bsky.social's Herculine - didn't realize that this would be a suitable Halloween read that taps into religious fear and demonic figures 👿😱🔥

Too many people seem to believe that “wokeism” has killed art, rather than enriched it. And yet trans people have been underrepresented in major institutions even before Trump’s suppression of so-called gender ideology, Grace Byron writes.
The War on Trans Art
Politics and aesthetics have an uneasy alliance. Too often, trans expression is on the losing end.

Ever since Donald Trump was first elected President, in 2016, a slew of books have attempted to reckon with the growing divide between urban and rural populations in the U.S. Few do so as deftly as Beth Macy’s new book, “Paper Girl,” Grace Byron writes.
The Muscular Compassion of “Paper Girl”
In her new book, Beth Macy returns to her home town of Urbana, Ohio, using it as a ground zero for understanding right-wing radicalization.
