Spoilers below. The Idol is about nihilism, or consumerism, or gender power dynamics, or the ruins of culture, or sexual empowerment (but probably sexual manipulation), or maybe the price of one’s soul. Any of these explanations are equally plausible after the series’ disjointed, if intriguing, premiere episode, in which pop star Jocelyn (Lily Rose-Depp) attempts her comeback only to chain-smoke her way into the arms of Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye). The rat-tailed club owner seems to think himself capable of remaking Jocelyn into a divine image, if not through reverence than with the force of near-asphyxiation. Theirs is an…

In a cultural milieu that is increasingly recognizing the value of narratives that describe the experience of chronic pain and illness, Emily Wells’ memoir is a unique contribution. In some ways, A Matter of Appearance is not a memoir at all, though that’s where you’ll find it shelved in bookstores. To be sure, Wells’ story is included in its pages.

If literary genres were amenable to nuance, or if I owned a bookstore,…

Specifically, “a language of women.” The painstaking work that they have been doing in domestic spaces, without fanfare or recognition, is like an oral history handed down via needle and thread. “In fashion, we were more focused on the volume, the shape, the cut,” she says. Meanwhile, craft “was not so much celebrated. There was an idea that it was only decoration, that it was not language.” Dress, earrings, necklace, $2,150,…

In school, my favorite books were either banned or censored from my school and public libraries. Books like Stephen Bantu Biko’s I Write What I Like, Mark Mathabane’s Kaffir Boy, and George Jackson’s Soledad Brother. I learned something blandly boring and yet extraordinarily potent in those books: Black folks’ tall and full humanity could be captured on the page. Like a 3-D photograph. What a dangerous idea. And as revolutionary as those books were, it took me entering woman-country to see their own form of conformity, their pattern of patriarchal blindness. They were all books by men. All men. Always…
