Maya Kulukundis and I recently went in search of the unmarked, dilapidated grave of Proust’s lover Alfred Agostinelli in Nice, and found it after an hour of pacing the cemetery rows. He drowned nearby in the Baie des Anges at the age of 25 after his plane crashed on 30 May 1914.

Marianne Faithfull was the last heroine of Sixties subversion. She remained loyal to Baudelairean bohemianism (where others settled into temperature-controlled environments). On lui a donné sa boue et elle en a fait de l’or. 1/

I wrote about how Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Apollinaire, and Proust wrestled with the rise of the press for @aeon.co, concluding with a call to reimagine the codex for the digital era. The essay draws on my recent book for @livunipress.bsky.social, Hustlers in the Ivory Tower:
