Assurément, un homme épuisé et seul qui se noie dans un océan de doutes et de récriminations a le droit, à un moment donné, d’accueillir avec soulagement l’eau dans ses poumons.

385.

C’était ce sourire qui m’avait rendu visite, spontanément, dans ma voiture de location, alors que je gravissais la montagne de Nolan, juste avant le coup de téléphone de Beth. Ce qui signifiait que ma fille avait raison et que la partie reptilienne de mon cerveau préparait déjà ma survie dans un avenir qui n’inclurait sans doute pas l’amour de ma vie.

„"Yes, dear. An excellent idea," Charles Beaumont Whiting agreed and in that fateful moment became Charlie Whiting. Later in life, he was fond of remarking, rather ruefully, that he always had the last word in all differences of opinion with his wife, and that two words, actually was, "Yes, dear." Had he known how many times he would repeat that phrase to this woman, how it would become the mantra of their marriage, he might well have recollected the river's invitation and committed himself to its current then and there and followed the moose downstream, thereby saving himself a great deal of misery and the price of the handgun he would purchase thirty years later for the purpose of ending his life.

"And would you mind putting out that awful cigar?" Francine Robideaux added.“

In Richard Russo's World, Everybody is Somebody's Fool

Thirty years after he started it, Richard Russo delivers another delightful story about the citizens of North Barth, NY.

Known as the North Bath trilogy, Richard Russo refers to it as his ‘Fool series.’ His latest, Somebody’s Fool (2023) follows Everybody’s Fool (2016) and Nobody’s Fool (1993). So much has happened in the little upstate New York town of North Bath that Russo has his work cut out for him bringing us up-to-speed. Instead of the colorful characters immediately resuming their tragicomic drama, Russo…

TV Review: Lucky Hank

What got my attention immediately about the new AMC TV series Lucky Hank is Bob Odenkirk. He is one of my favorite actors working today. Earlier this year, I named the final season of his series Better Call Saul my #1 TV Show of 2022 and I also got to cover his Hasty Pudding Man of the Year award at Harvard. He has had such an extraordinary trajectory: comedy writer for SNL, performer and cast member on The Ben Stiller Show and Mr. Show, to more serious acting in Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul, Nebraska, Fargo, and even an action movie like Nobody. Less than a year after BCS ended, he is back on an AMC series as Professor Hank Devereaux.

Season 1 poster

Hank is the english department chairman at an underfunded PA college. He and his wife Lily (Mireille Enos of AMC’s The Killing) live in suburbia, but sometimes dream of NYC and in fact she is seeking a job there. Hank’s father is a renowned author and professor and he hasn’t had any contact with him in 15 years. His grown daughter Julie is now married and having issues with her husband. Hank’s English department staff are not big fans of his handling of the department. The one salace he has is his friend Tony (Diedrich Bader of Veep). The entire series begins with Hank ranting on a student, which creates quite a stir.

Enos and Odenkirk

What I love about this series is the way it shows one character getting hit from all sides: his wife, daughter, staff, faculty, students, and parents are all getting on him about something, in some cases multiples in the same scene. It’s not too often you see this happening effectively, the exception coming to my mind is Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch Drunk Love, in which Adam Sandler’s character is getting hit from all sides within a single scene. In Lucky Hank, the protagonist is straddling a line between midlife crisis and full-on meltdown and it takes an actor of Odenkirk’s caliber to straddle that line between snarky cynicism and depression from suppressed trauma, while maintaining a degree of humor. And his entire English department staff is such a unique set of scene-stealers: extreme intelligence, but so critical and competitive with each other. As much as I enjoyed this show and it being a showcase for Odenkirk and the cast, I did wonder after the season finale (semi-spoiler) if the writers went all in on this season and where could it go from here? I guess we’ll have to see. In the meantime Odenkirk has swung it out of the park again!

Basta tirare un filo della trama del destino umano e tutto si dipana. Però potremmo pure dire che le cose hanno la tendenza a dipanarsi anche da sole

I'm about to fuck up," he thought clearly, and his next thought was, "but I don't have to." This was followed closely by a third thought, the last of this familiar sequence, which was, "but I'm going to anyway.

94. (l'expo)

La première exposition, au quatrième étage d’un entrepôt abandonné, occupe un immense espace, dont le sol est recouvert de plusieurs centimètres de terre quasi noire. Nate ne comprend pas immédiatement en quoi de la terre s’apparente à de l’art, et les propos de l’artiste – une diatribe politique de gauche, agrémentée d’obscénités –, au lieu d’éclairer son travail, embrouillent encore plus les choses. Il semblerait que boue = art ne soit pas pour cet artiste une équation suffisamment incertaine ; il a choisie boue = politique = art. Nate, affligé d’une imagination hautement pragmatique, se surprend à se demander comment toute cette terre a été transportée jusqu’au quatrième étage et qui, ensuite, l’a répandue. L’artiste considère-t-il ce travail laborieux comme une « installation » ? Le résultat aurait-il été différent dans les mains – la brouette ? – d’un individu moins talentueux ? Plus étrange encore : il existe, d’après Klaus, un précédent. Il y a deux ans, à New York, un autre artiste conceptuel a recouvert de terre le plancher de son loft à Chelsea. Dès lors, cette exposition pourrait être vue comme une critique cinglante de cette démarche ou un hommage. Près de la sortie, un petit panneau indique que cette œuvre n’est pas à vendre. Bernard émet un ricanement, mais s’abstient de tout autre commentaire.
