  6. "Watching Ninagawa in college, I had a single wish: that someone would clap and it would all suddenly be clear to me: the characters I transform into, what I transform from, who I am performing for."

    The great American novel doesn’t know it’s the great American novel until it’s been out almost a hundred years and the woman or man who wrote it is dead. Who cares about the great American novel while we’re in the golden age of TV?

    One of the best essays I’ve read recently. Both an interesting reading of “The Topeka School“ and an engaging contemplation of the broader value of literature.

    Ninagawa did not brook critiques that hinted at his dabbling in the “Japanesque.” His audience—his only audience, he maintained—was the Japanese, his aim “to produce a Shakespeare play that could be understood by ordinary people.”

    "(I)t seems fair to note that the opening anecdote reveals Gopnik as the kind of person who, having observed that his conversation partner is beginning to lose interest, is still lecturing her on the same topic three years later."

    Good read.. “My car got drunk and happy on gasoline. I made the gasoline. I pulled up to the gas pumps and handed the attendant my debit card and I told the attendant, ‘Hey, even though I made this gasoline, I still have to pay for it.’”

    It wasn’t easy, her body said, to play a cello in a kimono. Ninagawa had made her practice this motion again and again, demanding it look exactly like this: not easy.

    Can you name another Japanese Shakespearean besides Kurosawa? What about Yukio Ninagawa, the late, legendary theater director?

    Superb critique of Sally Rooney which nails what I find unsatisfying and slightly dishonest about her very enjoyable books.

    "Are stone horses thrown from the ramparts simple? I resist the idea that there’s such a thing as a formula for 'foreign' acceptance, as though there was something uncomplicated about Ninagawa’s endeavors."
