• The Wow Factor In Martin Amis’ New Autofiction

  19-10-2020 23:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  The difference between autofiction and a “loosely” autobiographical novel, broadly speaking, is the difference between Amis’s new book and one he published ten years ago, “The Pregnant Widow.” Both tell the story of a middle-aged baby boomer looking back on a formative erotic encounter that took place in the nineteen-seventies, during the heyday of the sexual revolution. – The New Yorker

• Fun To Think About: Are We Living In A Computer Simulation?

  19-10-2020 21:28 via feedproxy.google.com
  “Some have tried to identify ways in which we can discern if we are simulated beings. Others have attempted to calculate the chance of us being virtual entities.

So the film’s horrifying question is this: are you willing to destroy a part of yourself, that Twitter-refreshing creature within? – 3 Quarks Daily

• What Does It Mean To Make “Relevant” Art?

  19-10-2020 19:15 via feedproxy.google.com
  “Artists feel the anxiety of relevance during every season of fellowship applications, those rituals of supplication, when we have to make a case for ourselves in a way that feels entirely foreign, for me at least, to the real motivations of art.
