What Did Jesus Do? via @NewYorker phenomenal piece by @adamgopnik originally published in 2010

It's a wonderful book and a properly appreciative review but note the headline is exactly the opposite of what the review (and the book) says

A Familiar Face at the Met, Now in His Own Light a really excellent essay by Jason Farago on what's obviously a brilliant little show

An American Tragedy, Act III via @NewYorker fine piece by my pal the great Remnick - putting his arm round our shoulders and slipping us some anti-nausea medication as he steers us into the roller-coaster car. Hang on tight.

so agree; absolutely loved it
