hollywood Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 42 minutes ago, Wilfrid said: Amanda thinks Of Monsters and Men sounds like the name of a gastropub. She also seems to think Noel Kahan is well served by a comparison between his lyrics and Wallace Stevens' poetry. Are there Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird?

MitchW Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I was interested in the piece, only because I hadn’t heard of Noel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 “Yet Zendaya, an actor of tremulous, often wordless nuance…” That’s some good writing with no dumb stuff about her having a big head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I think everyone who finished high school knows what a Möbius strip is. Maybe those who never went to high school picked up on it too. At Okiburo, says Jiayang Fan, "the noodles are beguilingly wide Möbius strips of silk." No they're not. It would be remarkable if they were, but they're not. Just look at the pictures. Yes, they are very wide noodles. I understand the Katy Freeway in Texas is a notably wide highway. It is not a Möbius strip. As usual, I don't mean so much to beat up on the writer, who is trying to inject some fun. But do they still employ editors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 maybe the place is "all you can eat"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 i'm also a bit confused because the article seems premised on the novelty of the place and its food, but after reading it i have no idea what that novelty comprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orik Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The noodles are so wide that even if they are orientable, trying to eat them will leave you disorientated. I recommend the author's wikipedia page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Isn't the inapplicable word she's searching for "ouroburos"? (Seriously, maybe that's what set her off.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The food issue is fully digital - is this the first year for that? Anyway, the Shteyngart piece about Martinis, is a fun read. And he only mentions his botched childhood circumcision once, though the word circumcision does make another appearance later in the piece. And from the piece, I found out where one of my favorite old-school bartenders is now tending bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 It is a first. But it's quite confusing. I found it by searching. Once I found it I discovered I could open it in the app. But if you go direct to the app, it's not on the scroll of digital issues. The top one there is still the wonderful cat cover on the Technology issue. Also, does this mean there won't be a new print issue Monday?

Wilfrid Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 The last print issue was a double, but it is two weeks old, so as Stephanie says there should be a new May 6 print issue. I just wondered if the digital food issue affects that. It shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
