One of our formats is 'adjacencies', in which two works — which might, at first glance, seem unrelated — are considered in relation to one another. In this one, the excellent Daisy Lafarge considers a Netflix reality TV show in relation to the work of late-c.19 French writer Alphonse Daudet.

A number of you said this was excellent and you were right, the translator’s introduction also. Thanks to @booksellercrow.bsky.social for ordering it in.

Some writers seek ‘relatability’ in ancient myth. Others look to recreate alien remoteness. But in her use of Homeric or bible tales, Louise Glück sets up dialogue between her own family relations & mythic ones. The latter aren’t lazily appropriated. Rather the immediate & the mythic mutually enrich

Amazing artist. Also, I'm fortunate enough to have a copy of that print to the left of 'Carcass' in your photograph. (I treated myself last week.)

On his election in 1655, Pope Alexander VII commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to sculpt a skull in marble, which he kept on his desk as a reminder of death's omnipresence. The sculpture was rediscovered in 2021 at Schloss Pillnitz, Dresden

Pope Alexander VII sits in an elaborately carved chair, carved with the Chigi coat of arms, and rests his hands on a carved skull on the desk in front of him and looks out at the viewer A realistic, life-size marble skull with teeth missing, carved out of marble by Gian Lorenzo Bernini(1655)
