The grid map of NYC has 200 years

Henry James condemned it a century ago as a "primal topographic curse." Rem Koolhaas , the architect and urbanist, countered that its two-dimensional form created "undreamed-of freedom for three-dimensional anarchy." More recently, two historians described its map, regardless of its flaws, as "the single most important document in New York City's development." ... The grid certified by the city's street commissioners on March 22, 1811 , spurred development by establishing seven miles of regular, predictable street access. It also laid the groundwork for nearly 2,000 acres of landfill that would be added to the island over the next two centuries. The commissioners Concluded That New York "is to be Principally Composed of the habitations of men, and That straight-sided and right-angled houses are cheap to build and The Most The Most convenient to live." nyt .

The State of Book Reviewing

Publishers Weekly has launched an interesting initiative: a series of interviews with reviewers' state of the review. " The first to be interviewed is Laura Miller of Salon . Here's what he says, among other things, "Your primary responsibility is to the reader. My friend Lev Grossman, the Time magazine book critic, has a motto that sums it up: Don’t lie . ... It's bad when an author gets a bad review he or she doesn't deserve, but it's bad for the overall ecology of book reviews, if a reviewer gives a book an unduly positive review. It establishes a climate of bad faith. This is something that has already happened; there's a feeling in the public that reviewers try to sell them on authors that aren't that good. That's one reason that professional reviews are becoming extinct: people don't trust them." Mi sembra quel che stia succedendo (anzi è successo) in Italia. Esiste ancora un recensore di cui fidarsi qui da noi?  PW .

Why do we write the death

Meghan O'Rourke

of a loved one? Recently released two papers that follow step by step the death of a person who is close to us: Joyce Carol Oates , A Widow's Story , on the death of her husband Raymond Smith (released at Here mid-February), and Meghan O'Rourke , The Long Goodbye (Riverhead), on the death of his mother. The book Oates was very reviewed. I did not discuss it because I had read an advance on New Yorker and I had found it uninteresting - mechanical and cold. The memorial O'Rourke released in April, but the 'anticipation on New Yorker I thought that was very intense, moving and strong (and FOTA is a beautiful mother of the poet on horseback). ; The two writers have compared the topic recently on the New York Times . O'Rourke, "As her disease progressed, I found myself writing down all the Experiences We had - the day she got giddily high on morphine at the doctor's office; the afternoon we talked, painfully, about her upcoming death. It helped me externalize what was happening. After she died, I kept writing - and reading - trying to understand or just get a handle on grief, which was different from what I thought it'd be. It wasn't merely sadness; I was full of nostalgia for my childhood, obsessed with my dream life and had a hard time sleeping or focusing on anything but my memories."  nyt ,

The NYT , besides being the largest global magazine that has not lost the function of gazette of the stories of the city and its inhabitants. This can be seen heading The Ethicist (now edited by Ariel Kaminer, so far with more panache and less humor of Randy Cohen) and the article by Adam Sternberg on Magazine last Sunday about Dana Adam Shapiro and how he came to the film Monogamy (just released in the USA). Intrigued by the divorce of his many acquaintances, DA Shapiro found that if said to be writing a book about it, people will willingly confided his troubles. In two years he has collected 50 interviews on why they divorced, that he served for the film, and Sternberg to build an article as a compelling story. "Nothing That I ever did: During the course of Our Entire Involved marriage me thinking about my wife as a first thought. And yet now, as we where going through the divorce, She Was all I Could think about. If There Had Been one-tenth - one-hundredth - Our passion in marriage as much as There Was In Our divorce, we just Would Have Celebrated Our 25th wedding anniversary". nytmag .

Last lingua franca

For the linguist David Crystal , It Is Entirely plausible That "Inglese, in Some shape or form, will find Itself in the service of the world community for ever". In his new, engaging and learned book, The Last Lingua Franca. English until the return of Babel (Allen Lane), Nicholas Ostler challenges this widespread confidence in the continued future of English as the dominant global language, and, more radically, questions whether there will be any need at all for a single language of international communication “in a world where digital technology is cheap and ubiquitous”.

The Pilcrow

Pilcrow : è il carattere tipografico che indica il paragrafo. "The pilcrow is not just some typographic curiosity, useful only for livening up a coffee-table book on graphic design or pointing the way to a paragraph in a mortgage deed, but a living, breathing character with its roots in the earliest days of punctuation. Born in ancient Rome , refined in medieval scriptoria, appropriated by England's most famous modern typographer and finally rehabilitated by the personal computer, the story of the pilcrow is intertwined with the evolution of modern writing. shadycharacters .

The Line

In 1954, Saul Steinberg made a design for the tenth edition of the Triennale di Milano . The drawing was titled, "The Line ," and consisted of a single line ten meters long and 29 panels that were folded like an accordion. Steinberg had drawn the line with a multitude of scenes: a laundry hung, a city that is reflected in a river, women who play the guitar, and his famous cat. This design was later enlarged and etched on the walls of a maze (which no longer exists) in Milan. And has now been reissued in an elegant paper folded like an accordion by steinberg foundation.

Changes Bradshaw

"What is art? Thomas Bradshaw are often faced with this question. Not yet know the answer. It was once believed that art was a kind of fiction, but now no longer think. Now, to describe what he thinks, uses the word authenticity. Some things are artificial and others are genuine. It 's easy to understand when something is artificial. Much less when not it is. "It 's the beginning of the novel by Rachel Cusk , changes Bradshaw (Mondadori, excellent translation by Silvia Pareschi), and it comes natural to me the question Thomas about the book is authentic or artificial?

London #2

Here we are with the second round of photos of London

During our visit certainly could not miss a stop at Harrods ... When you step in, you are surrounded by a swirl of lights and perfumes ...
Walking on a spongy carpet (like being barefoot on a lawn!) We lost in the wonders of this little corner of paradise, where the culinary department has nothing to envy to that dominated by shoes and clothes ... : D

And then at the end of the wonderful day we had a lovely walk along the Thames illuminated by thousands of lights ... Truly impressive!

Happy Saturday to all! What programs do you have for the we?
