“But I really thought young men despised novels amazingly.”
“It may well suggest amazement if they do — for they read nearly as many as women.”

Rhythm
Helps
Your

Excellent essay about digital ephemera:
What happens when the internet disappears?
Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?

Trying something new on my Substack this year with some essays on art, not just the business of making it. Here’s a fresh essay on Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl:

Crying in the Dark over The Last Showgirl
