How often do you finish a novel, only to find yourself flipping back to the first page and thinking, I really ought to start that all over again? Alina Grabowski’s debut Women and Children First, a new and remarkable book (out this week) from SJP Lit, Sarah Jessica Parker’s imprint at Zando books, prompts that kind of reading.
Set in a struggling New England town, the novel unfolds through interlocking stories—something like Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge or Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the…

I was pregnant when I first saw Mary Jane in 2017, at the New York Theater Workshop (NYTW), starring Carrie Coon, and was taken aback by the intensity of my emotions. How embarrassing, I thought, how hormonal. But when I read the play again this year (decidedly not pregnant), I was shaken all over again. Mary Jane tells the story of a mother confined in the first act to her Queens apartment and in the second to the hospital where her unwell toddler, Alex, is being treated for cerebral palsy amon…

This month, more than a hundred years after that premiere, a new iteration of Prometheus will unfold at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco—one that involves not just color but scent as well, with three distinct fragrances released at key moments throughout the performance. The effect intends to create an all-encompassing experience—and given that the myth of Prometheus describes nothing less than the triumph of human ingenuity against the brute forces of nature, a concert that seeks to elevat…

We like to think of this list of the best books of 2024 as the anti-algorithm, a collection of highly specific, highly individual, and somewhat eclectic books that we just absolutely love. At a moment when the very act of curation threatens to be overwhelmed by whatever cookies you’ve unflinchingly accepted to track your cursor and your clicks, we hope this list—and lists like these—serve as a counterweight: a reminder of a beloved author, an introduction to something new, a detour into the unex…

We get it—there is simply too much. So, as in years past, we are giving our editors a last-minute opportunity to plug the books, movies, albums, shows, skits, or any piece of cultural ephemera that didn’t quite get the attention or acclaim it deserved. To entertain your holiday guests, we present all the things you really should know about—as well as more of our year-in-review coverage—here.
Advance apologies if I have a personal relationship with you (friend, book club member, crossing guard at…

Miller, 41, is already mother to Marlowe (whom she co-parents with the actor Tom Sturridge), and now is having another girl. She’s 28 weeks into the pregnancy, with boyfriend Oli Green, 27, an actor with whom she has been in a relationship since 2021. Today she’s dressed in a black tank top and roomy, low-hanging Levi’s, held up by what looks like a silk sash; her hair is hanging long and loose in a way that many a stylist would undoubtedly spend hours trying to emulate. Two dogs—Walter, a mini…

Tom Chapman, the co-founder of MatchesFashion, has a friend who throws what he deems the best pizza parties in America. So when this friend’s birthday came around, the entrepreneur knew what to give him: a hand-forged Ben Bodman pizza wheel made with Damascus steel. “The best pizza cutter for the best pizza-maker,” he tells me when we chat in Chapman’s hometown of London. This is Chapman’s philosophy when it comes to gifting—you have to know the person, and you have to think hard about what will…

This fall, the fruits of those efforts, as well as those of his co-curator Suzanne Pagé, can be seen at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, where the first retrospective in France since 1999 has brought together some 115 works. The show, aptly titled “Mark Rothko,” will be up until April of next year. “Exhibiting such a broad, thorough, and representative set of works,” Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, writes in the catalog, “is the fulfillment of a long-standing personal wish.”

While the intersection of scent and taste with memory has prompted scientific examinations and literary ruminations (Proust with his madeleines, etc.), the connection between color perception and memory seems a more elusive target for inquiry, perhaps because it is so subjective. “I am only too aware—having faced customers across the shop counter for many years—that we tend to see color in different ways,” writes The Anatomy of Colour author Patrick Baty in an email to me from London, where he i…

The photographer Mayan Toledano didn’t expect to make a second home for herself when she started visiting Mexico City. But she felt at ease there, and started going several times a year. “Suddenly I had people, friends there. Suddenly I had a mini life somewhere else,” she tells me earlier this fall. Whenever she left, she felt the urge to return: “I need to come back and water these new flowers in my life.”
That sense of community is reflected in Mayan Toledano: No Mames, out this month from Da…

The timing of Vogue World: London (at the kickoff of London Fashion Week) is no accident: Theater and fashion have always spoken to each other. What is a fashion show if not a very current (and very fast) reflection of the world; and what is theater if not a (somewhat) slower-paced presentation of the same thing?
Vogue World: London put some of both worlds’ guiding lights into conversation at London’s Royal Drury Lane theater, transformed for the evening into a spectacle celebrating those two ar…
