TWO // NYT's Social Q's
Philip Galanes proves he has the best advice for every awkward social interaction this week by dealing head-on with an uncomfortable situation about a couple's corporate ski trip. For all of life's anxiety-inducing moments, check out Galanes' column.
THREE // Harper Lee and Berkeley Breathed
Since Harper Lee's passing, correspondence between her and Berkeley Breathed, creator of Opus the Penguin, reveal her wit, charm and gregarious nature that is often obscured by the gravity of her works To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman. Makes me want to start writing letters!
FOUR // Americans Posing as Canadians
I was fascinated by this article from The Atlantic, especially in the context of my recent re-reading of Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies. I've been thinking a lot about tourism and how Americans are perceived outside of the US (not always great), so I found this article at the right time.
He does it again! Every season, legendary photographer captures the best of fashion week's street style and distills it into a three minute video montage, capturing the essence of fashion right now.
