Ruminations in an Emergency A new translation of Proust’s late masterpiece – Rebecca Ariel Porte

Isn't it nice having Bookforum back?

a screenshot from a section in The New Yorker's About Town, by Molly Fischer. It reads: "Free association and podcasting aren’t so different—both involve extracting meaning from thoughtful rambling—so it’s not surprising that someone has made a podcast about psychoanalysis. “Ordinary Unhappiness” (produced in collaboration with Parapraxis Magazine) takes an approach to the subject that’s more scholarly than therapeutic, providing an experience akin to listening in on a lively seminar. The hosts are Abby Kluchin and Patrick Blanchfield, a pair of academics who happen to be married. (That this fact comes out only incidentally in the course of the first episode feels appropriate.)" There's more, which you can read here: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/goings-on/richard-brodys-new-york-film-festival-highlights.
