Ask Already - The American Scholar

Who would say no to an extra year of life, especially if you could choose when to take it? Not at the end, please, when you might be too old or tired to enjoy it. You wouldn’t want it at the beginning either. We love babies for their potential, but no one wants to be one again. You’d probably ask for it to come in the middle, when extra time is likely to be rich and nourishing, like fresh-baked bread, spongy and soft. Yet in those rich, busy yea…Read Article

Jeremy Spoke in Class Today - The American Scholar

In the fall of 1989, my senior year, I bought a handgun in the lobby of my high school library. It was a cheap .25 caliber, small enough to fit in my front pocket. The guy who sold it to me, a fellow student, said it was unregistered. He said it was something I didn’t want to get caught with. For several years, I kept the gun in the glove box of my truck. Each morning, before I drove to school, I would check to make sure it was there. Each after…Firearms · Rapid City Read Article

The Rascal of Pont-Aven - The American Scholar

Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gauguin by Sue Prideaux; W. W. Norton, 416 pp., $39.99 In the crowded field of problematic male modernists, Paul Gauguin leads the pack. There is arguably no 19th-century painter with a lousier public approval rating. The charges against him are varied and severe. He drove Vincent van Gogh to madness, then abandoned him in Provence, severed ear and all. Years later, he pulled a similar vanishing act on his wife, tradin…Pont-Aven · Pont-Aven Read Article

Hiding in Plain Sight - The American Scholar

Years from now, perhaps it is the dress you will remember most. I recall the first time I saw it, at sunrise, on a summer morning in July 2000: it was celestial white, made of cotton and sailcloth, billowing elegantly in the welcome breeze, wrapped around a 30-foot, steel-framed mannequin atop the historic Coal Tower in Charlottesville, Virginia, hard by the railroad tracks. An early riser, I was bringing coffee home that morning when the haunti…Charlottesville · Charlottesville Read Article

‘God-Knows-What-Kind-of-Classic’ - The American Scholar

On January 20, 2025, the day of his swearing-in, Stephen Ehikian, the new head of the General Services Administration—the agency responsible for overseeing, among other things, the design of government buildings—received a memorandum from the White House directing him to submit “recommendations to advance the policy that [new] Federal public buildings should be visually identifiable as civic buildings and respect regional, traditional, and class…District of Columbia · District of Columbia Read Article

A Fight With Cudgels - The American Scholar

A spooky painting by Francisco Goya has haunted me for decades. Painted around 1820 on a wall of the artist’s house and later transferred to canvas, it depicts two men, standing deep in mud or perhaps quicksand, holding cudgels poised to strike each other. They are alone in a stark landscape. The lighting suggests the sun rising or dying. Neither man sees the surrounding hills, or the vast sky, or even the mud. There is a fierceness in the way t…United States · United States Read Article

On (Middle-Class) Frugality - The American Scholar

At the beginning of last year, I decided that if I could cut my family’s weekly expenses, not including mortgage payments, to $400, then our life would be better. Optimized. Simpler. Less cluttered. There had to be a trick to it, a hack, such that if I gave up the small stuff, I’d be able to afford what I wanted the most. After spending the pandemic with my family constrained to our little house in Ottawa, I wanted to swim in the ocean; eat ripe…Ottawa, Ontario · Ottawa Read Article

Unbuilding the Mystery - The American Scholar

Shamanism: The Timeless Religion by Manvir Singh; Knopf, 304 pp., $30 A shaman, according to Manvir Singh, “is a specialist who, through non-ordinary states, engages with unseen realities and provides services like healing and divination.” If the definition seems efficient but unimaginative, you’ve got the gist of Shamanism. Singh, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of California, Davis and a frequent New Yorker contributo…Indonesia · Indonesia Read Article
