P. G. Wodehouse by Irving Penn, 1947 "Wodehouse had a cultivated aptitude for devising hilarious incidents of controlled incongruity as well as a talent for creating memorable comic characters." - Alden Whitman

The writer sits at one of Penn's cloth covered platforms, his glasses in front of him.

Book 21 / 2026 Linda Rosenkrantz - Peter Hujar's Day This slight slip of a book is a delight; also the inspo for the film of the same name (which I still cannot find to stream!) My interest is because the late Peter Hujar is a magician, whose photos (Raven Row '25) almost moved me to tears.

Remembering Italo Calvino on his birthday 🎂 📷 Ulf Andersen, 1984 "Architect of scrupulously imagined, apparently fantastic, insidiously plausible words, Calvino occupies a literary space somewhere east of Jorge Luis Borges & west of Vladimir Nabokov." - Michael Wood
