It’s only a little over a month until we leave the 2000s and enter the 2010s. We never came up with a good name for this first decade of the millennium, but it’s certainly been eventful, starting with millennial fears about computer meltdowns, continuing through 9/11, two wars in Afghanistan and Ira ...

Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette I’ve read this biography three or four times, and it’s dense, and for good reason. Colette was pretty fascinating; she had a scandalous marriage — a mésalliance — to a much older, much more sophisticated man, who had her ghost-write a series of wildly popular, ...
