The Author Whose Viral Post About Her Stroke Led To A Book Bidding War
Alexander Chee interviews Christine Myung-Oak Lee. Lee on what she learned during the release of her memoir, something she’ll use for her book tour with her novel: “Writers have ‘perfect readers’ — the readers who understand exactly what you’ve written, but these are always few. In this way, the MFA workshop is great training ground for book reviews and public reception of one’s work — you learn that not everyone, which includes very intelligent people, will love your work.”
The New Director Of The Tate Has Major Plans
Maria Balshaw “delivers her radical intent with a certain breeziness, casually mentioning she is aiming for total gender parity. ‘I don’t strive for shows 50 per cent by women because that’s a feminist gesture, but because we want to refer to the world we live in,’ she explains.”
The News Station That Was Home To Millions Of Immigrants In L.A. Has Flipped To English
The station provided coverage of the Seoul Olympics in Korean, covered the 1992 L.A. riots in a variety of languages, and in general, “offered content in 14 Asian languages, including Japanese, Vietnamese and Tagalog, along with Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Armenian, Persian, Hebrew, French, German, Hungarian, Italian and Russian.” Why the switch to English?

How A ‘Hamilton’ Superfan Became A ‘Hamilton’ Cast Member (No, Don’t Take This As Encouragement, Most Of America!)
A guy from a small town in Texas gets a break in a Richard Linklater film, and through a lot of memorization of lyrics and timing, he’s suddenly on Broadway as Hercules Mulligan – and James Madison.

Hawaii Five-O Producers Won’t Give Asian American Stars Equal Pay To White Stars, So They Leave Series
What year is this, again? “CBS’s final offer to Kim and Park was believed to have been 10-15% lower than what O’Loughlin and Caan make in salary. O’Laughlin and Caan each have deals that also provide them percentage points on the show’s back end.”
The Sci-Fi Worlds That Filled The Muslim World Long Ago
“Western readers often overlook the Muslim world’s speculative fiction. I use the term quite broadly, to capture any story that imagines the implications of real or imagined cultural or scientific advances. Some of the first forays into the genre were the utopias dreamt up during the cultural flowering of the Golden Age.”
Seven Minutes Of Information About What Happens Backstage At The Met Just Before The Curtain Rises [VIDEO]
What’s happening in the wig shop, the orchestra green room, the opera ballet rehearsal room and many more departments that each fied into the master illusion.
Lisa Kron: ‘Fun Home’ Was *Not* ‘De-Butchified’ For The National Tour
The playwright takes to an open letter to respond to a controversy about Mature Alison’s tour costume. She is not in agreement with the original post. “The producers, the creative team, and I have never stopped our guardianship of the queer, feminist, lesbian, middle-aged, art-making, truth-seeking heart of our show. I love Kate’s version of Alison. I feel good about the change in her costume. You may disagree. But was this decision, or any other, ever made to ‘de-butchify’ the show? No way.

The Artist Who Created Eloise Reveals His Muses
The illustrator of Eloise, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and so many more was inspired partly by his time in the Navy. “Perhaps his most important education, though, occurred in movie palaces and at the lushly outfitted live entertainments that used to be Broadway staples. Vitrines at the library contain collaged homages to a chorus line of showbiz muses like Liliane Montevecchi (‘the most remarkable person,’ said Mr. Knight, a connoisseur of the appreciative adjective), Ann Miller (‘like a steam engine’) and Dame Edna (‘extraordinary’).”
