Culturally Speaking #27

By Sarah Stodola

--------------------------------------

Leave it to the French to produce a novel with no verbs, and leave it to the British to publish a mocking review of it.

I'm pretty sure this is a new site - they've got some niiiice vacation packages.

When the parents come to town, one becomes a lot more cultured very quickly: Everyday People (review forthcoming), an HBO movie to be released later this month, receives an enthusiastic pump of the fist. Embedded, Tim Robbins' anti-war play, receives tipping back and forth of a flat, outstretched hand. A Table, in Fort Greene, is the best restaurant I've been to in New York, with the possible exception of Nobu. And I now know that that Brooklyn Museum is closed on Mondays AND Tuesdays.

This new book offers a before and after glimpse at students from one high school ten years after graduation.

* * *

Is it really possible that in all these years they have not been able to come up with a better way to package CDs?

* * *

The Brooklyn Academy of Music's (BAM) renovation is nearly complete.  The scaffolding that has hidden the facade of the building for as long as I have lived here has finally been removed, and its just gorgeous.

* * *

Good new and bad news from Africa.  And politics in India.

* * *

A Chicago publication offers a list of the 50 most important literary figures in the Windy City.

Keep spreading the word...Me Three Print Edition is in the works...
