I Will Never Be the Pianist My Father Loves Best
An excerpt from Hudson by Hernán Ronsino, translated by Mallory Craig-Kuhn When Navia finally says my father is dead, I am about to go on stage to play. I don’t know why it is that in transcendent moments I always think of trivial things: the world opens out into a multitude of dots, and I […] The post I Will Never Be the Pianist My Father Loves Best appeared first on Electric Literature .

THE RADIANCE Finds Narrative Juice in the Ancient Greeks’ Forms of Love
I first encountered Ayad Akhtar’s work when I saw his groundbreaking play Disgraced towards the end of its Broadway run at the Lyceum Theater in New York City and before it won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The night was electric, on-stage and off-stage. I attended the show with my older sister and together […] The post THE RADIANCE Finds Narrative Juice in the Ancient Greeks’ Forms of Love appeared first on Electric Literature .

The Power of Touch in High Art
Don’t Touch the Art by DS Waldman The first time I brought my mother to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, she reached out and touched one of my favorite paintings.

If you work 40 hours a week, you spend about a third of your waking hours at work. When you add the time you spend commuting to work, complaining about work, and stressing about work, you’re looking at half of your conscious life spent in the workplace.

An excerpt from This Vital Absence by Sophia Veltfort Every few weeks, Dean posted a new video about famous musicians he’d known in his prime. Eric Clapton, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd. He sat in a black mesh chair in what looked like a home office. Behind him, shelves painted a fading cerulean held slender statuettes […] The post I Might Sleep With My Neighbor, If She Isn’t My Half-Sister appeared first on Electric Literature .

How Balzac’s Extreme Coffee Habit Fueled His Productive Writing Routine
Even now, in this age when the very reading of literature is endangered — or so the articles tell us — Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) retains a notable ability to pick up new admirers. But even though he may have a decent readership by the standards of French novelists who died in the middle of […]

The Vibrant Color Wheels Designed by Goethe, Newton & Other Theorists of Color (1665–1810)
Maybe it’s the cloistered headiness of Rene Descartes, or the rigorous austerity of Isaac Newton; maybe it’s all the leathern breeches, gray waistcoats, sallow faces, and powdered wigs… but we tend not to associate Enlightenment Europe with an explosion of color theory. Yet philosophers of the late 17th and 18th centuries were obsessed with light […]

Surreal Pinscreen Animations Bring Kafka, Gogol & Mussorgsky to Life (1933–1972)
What do Franz Kafka, Nikolai Gogol, and Modest Mussorgsky have in common? They stand alone among their peers for their darkly humorous sensibilities, fascination with the grotesque, imaginative takes on cultural traditions, and a predisposition for the proto-surreal. Like the odd figure lurching through the first movement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, they are […]

Watch 150 Classic Horror and Suspense Films Free Online: Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Carnival of Souls, Night of the Living Dead & More
From roughly the mid-nineteen-fifties through the mid-nineteen-seventies, the availability of airtime on American television stations exceeded their capacity to fill it with high-quality original programming. This was especially true in the hours when relatively few viewers were awake to tune in, a condition that gave rise to the late-night movie show. Specializing in lesser […]

Watch David Bowie Take MTV to Task for Failing to Play Music Videos by Black Artists (1983)
The old vaudeville phrase “Will it play in Peoria?” has its roots in the late 19th century, specifically in Horatio Alger’s novel Five Hundred Dollars; Or Jacob Marlowe’s Secret. Like all of the books Alger wrote extolling the virtues of thrift, study, grooming, industry, etc., this one articulates a middle American bootstraps philosophy and rags-to-riches mythology, while […]

A Beginner’s Guide to Philosophy: From Logic to Epistemology to Metaphysics
These are, perhaps, not the very best times for humanities majors. Seldom do we even hear the once-standard defense that, by pursuing a course of study in subjects of that kind, students “learn how to think.” Such a justification still points to real value, at least in the most demanding settings. Take Harvard’s course Humanities […]
