New in Paperback: Until the End of Time and Warhol

New in Paperback: ‘Until the End of Time’ and ‘Warhol’ By Jennifer Krauss SQUARE HAUNTING: Five Writers in London Between the Wars, by Francesca Wade. (Crown, 432 pp., $18.) Bloomsbury’s Mecklenburgh Square was home to five pioneering feminists across 25 years: the poet H.D., the novelist Dorothy Sayers, the medievalist Eileen Power, the classicist Jane Ellen Harrison and, famously, Virginia Woolf. Our reviewer, Blanche Wiesen Cook, called Wade’s portrait of the group “enchanting.” UNTIL THE END OF TIME: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe, by Brian Greene. (Vintage, 448 pp., $17.95.) “Often heartbreaking,” funny and “stuffed with too many profundities” to quote is the way our reviewer, Dennis Overbye, described this “meditation on how we go on doing what we do, why and how it will end badly, and why it matters anyway.”

Louis Fratino, The Sleepers, 2020, oil on canvas, 65 × 95 . BEGIN AT THE BOTTOM, with the ankle. That region where the foot and the leg meet, and where a bony architecture of joints and ligatures is bound together, bulb-shaped, gorgeous, and implicative. A confessional form. Begin there, with Louis Fratino’s work, in a piece titled The Sleepers, 2020, from last year’s late-fall show at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. in New York featuring twenty paintings diary-like of the male body in repose, of shallow interiors and modernist-inflected landscapes, most of which are set, as the exhibition’s title indicates, in the morning. In The Sleepers which happens to be the first painting Fratino worked on for “Morning” two men are naked and entangled. A euphoric stupor. They are only half-covered by the blanket that wraps around them the way a parachute’s materials touch down, wilting and lovely. Their tubular legs are exposed, their feet abstracted, calling up Georgia O’Keeffe’

PEN America Announces Its 2021 Literary Award Finalists

Image – iStockphoto: Massimo Giachetti From 1,850 Submissions, 55 Finalists A total of 55 titles in 11 categories have been named today (February 10) as finalists in the 2021 PEN America Literary Awards. They now are in contention for an aggregate purse of more than US$380,000. PEN America, of course, is the US affiliate chapter of PEN International. An important and notably serious program among world publishing’s myriad awards programs each year, this series is also at times confusing because its sponsor-named categories vary widely in their nature and prize money. Some awards are funded for biennial presentation, rather than yearly.

The Paris Review - Presenting the Finalists for the 2021 PEN America Literary Awards

This morning, PEN America released the 2021 Literary Awards Finalists. More than forty-five imprints and presses are featured on the list, with half of the titles coming from university and indie presses. Twenty books are from writers making their literary debuts, and half the titles among the open-genre awards are poetry collections. Chosen by a cohort of judges representing a wide range of disciplines, backgrounds, identities, and aesthetic lineages, these fifty-five Finalist books represent a humbling selection of the year’s finest examples of literary excellence. The stories on the Finalists lists are about parents, grandparents, and grandchildren, about siblings and their rivalries. These writers share the lives of people who are nonbinary and people who are transgender; people of all ages with changing bodies; immigrants and citizens and people seeking refuge; a basketball legend; a young woman who plucks factory chickens smooth; a tugboat driver; and Phillis Wheatley, Ame
