Victoria Tentler-Krylov’s “Peak Season” | The New Yorker

[ad_1] A watermelon sampled in summertime is a watermelon at the height of its powers. Though our modern existence gives us access to most foods year-round, a fruit or vegetable tasted in its season—a peach, a tomato, an ear of corn—is a pleasure apart. In her new cover for the August 14, 2023, issue, the… Continue reading Victoria Tentler-Krylov’s “Peak Season” | The New Yorker

Decoding Barbie’s Radical Pose | The New Yorker

[ad_1] In Barbieland, as envisioned in “Barbie,” the writer-director Greta Gerwig presents a world where positions of power are held by female dolls such as a Black President Barbie and a Filipina American Supreme Court Justice Barbie.

Paul Reubens’s Preposterous Grace | The New Yorker

[ad_1] I hope Paul Reubens was well enough to see “Barbie” before he died this past Sunday, at the age of seventy, following six years of privately battling cancer. Greta Gerwig’s spectacularly popular film wouldn’t exist in quite the same way, I don’t think, without the example of “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” the ostensible kids’ show that… Continue reading Paul Reubens’s Preposterous Grace | The New Yorker
