Do we see the shape of the story of the soul? Marie Howe’s lyric “Fifty” suggests why not. That is in the kingdom of ordinary time. Desire drops each moment that promises more. Drops it to the floor. Actually desire’s shape dissolves as it becomes. Just one of those things.

“Maybe I write because it is a way of thinking that has no possible match. It is a very active way of thinking. You think more clearly when you have to put something down in words. Even people who are not professional writers clear their minds while writing a letter or keeping a diary.” —Javier Marías buff.ly/OW4WpnK

Javier Marías, The Art of Fiction No. 190

“To think of posterity nowadays is ludicrous because things do not last. Books seem to last more than films or records but even they do not last very long.”

So terribly unfair, sending all my love to her family. NPR culture editor Rose Friedman dies at 38. npr.org/2026/09/18/nx-s1-597…

Editor Rose Friedman, who helped shape NPR's cultural coverage, dies at 38

Friedman was in her early 20s when she landed her first position as an editorial assistant at NPR. She became an editor and reporter, and a co-creator of the annual Books We Love reading guide.

Of all great filmmakers Renoir was most cherished as a human being by those he worked with and mentored. Luchino Visconti and Satyajit Ray worked as his assistant, Truffaut constantly visited him, Rivette made a great doc interview with him. He’s everywhere in modern cinema.

No one like Renoir. There’s a wonderful old issue of cahiers du cinema dedicated entirely to interviews with him, and to his influence — and there is something so impulsively curious about JR, something so open— which speaks to his oeuvre,
