  • Not Just a Measure of Our Ignorance

    Reading Dance of the Photons by physics Nobel laureate Anton Zeilinger. Loving it.

  • Does it rub off?

    There’s been times where we’ve too wanted to take on someone else’s skills, wit or winning personality by means of osmosis.

  • Show Me Your Canon And I’ll Tell You Who You Are

    What we’re left with in a post-canonical world, is lists. Lists reflect their creator’s point of view in ways that make for great conversation starters.

  • A Beautiful Temptation

    What constitutes the canonical English language novel? A deceptively simple idea turns into a cognitive quagmire.

  • The 2023 Reading List

    Reading. The ultimate unfair advantage.

  • Yoko Tawada Is Thinking About the Romans

    Scattered All Over the World is a funny kind of book. Feels a bit like as if Lina Wolff had written the script for a Wim Wenders movie, screened for Haruki Murakami.
