Be still my heart! My Holmes article tip in your fabulously addictive newsletter. Rachel Dodes is such an enjoyable writer.
Up up up with maximalism! I love a 1980s-ish house full of weird stuff from MacKenzie Childs and a mom in a silk Talbot's blouse serving up some Snackwell cookies. Total Home Alone vibes. Blond wood and white painted interiors with no stuff (no books!) are soul-killing. Where are we supposed to be, exactly? And what is happening there?
This week I'll admit to being utterly entranced by the batshit bonkers Ozy media meltdown (Ben Smith's coverage), with a brief detour for Bob Kolker's NYT mag piece on bad art friends--nice little prelude to a psychological thriller there (will a police report be next?). As for Ozy, let's keep an eye on what the smart and interesting Lauren Williams's Capital B, a new media company (non-profit) focused on Black communities. She launches next year--in January. Will there be juicy articles? I don't know. But I did enjoy her op-ed responding to the Ozy sitch: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/05/opinion/ozy-black-media-support.html
Rachel--you must tell us what Elizabeth's voice was like!! Did she stay in character the whole time?
