Notes on arts and entertainment from The New Yorker.

[Alexandra Schwartz @Alex_Lily]

I see there's a new Tina Brown interview floating around so this is as good a time as any to remind you that in 1995 the @NewYorker published a twenty-five page "fable" consisting of color photos taken by Richard Avedon showing a model posing with a dressed skeleton.

I wrote about Yoko Ogawa's phenomenal novel The Memory Police, which (like The Underground Railroad & Exit West) draws its power from updating an allegorical device that I haven't been able to stop thinking about https://t.co/SKrBqjsmdA

It's #GuyFawkesDay! Aka Gunpowder Night, aka Bonfire Night. As night falls, consider the evolution of #GuyFawkes from archvillain to Guy Smiley. @AllanMetcalf https://t.co/vHOBmhOk60

I wrote about Reformation, or as @twelveoclocke once put it, “slutty Eileen Fisher” https://t.co/4iCBn4H2Wt

"Under Jessye Norman’s aegis, 'Im Abendrot' becomes a fantasy of the kind of death we all wish we could have." @alexrossmusic https://t.co/ie2hBmW6AU

[Erin Overbey @erinoverbey]

For my latest archival newsletter on "All the President's Men," I dug up @NewYorker's original Goings On About Town capsule review of the 1972 film, "Deep Throat." #newyorkerclassics https://t.co/ky6yLVyY8f
