And yet he held uncertainty at the center of his intellectual and creative life. One of the most celebrated minds of the past century, Feynman was a champion of scientific knowledge so effective and so beloved that he has generated an entire canon of personal mythology. In his taxonomy of the two types of geniuses, probability theory pioneer Mark Kac distinguishes between “ordinary geniuses” and “magicians,” pointing to Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918–February 15, 1988) as a rare example of the latter. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But that all changed when Jim Morrison stepped into her life.Ĭhronicling her four-year on-and-off relationship with the Doors’ front man, Love Him Madly: An Intimate Memoir of Jim Morrison (Chicago Review Press, June 2013) Judy Huddleston provides a direct and unprecedented view of the late 1960s subculture like never before.

That, in fact, we live in a brand culture. But while the practice of branding is typically understood as a tool of marketing, a method of attaching social meaning to a commodity as a way to make it more personally resonant with consumers, Sarah Banet-Weiser argues that in the contemporary era, brands are about culture as much as they are about economics. Branding is central to political campaigns and political protest movements the alchemy of social media and self-branding creates overnight celebrities the self-proclaimed “greening” of institutions and merchant goods is nearly universal. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written with boundless intelligence and filled with the tenderness of youth, The Art of Fielding is an expansive, warmhearted novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, and about commitment - to oneself and to others.Ĭhad Harbach's The Art of Fielding is 2/3rds strong but maybe 100 pages too long.
