“Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told?” by Jenny Diski (Bloomsbury Publishing)
A lot of criticism doesn’t age well because it’s tied to ephemeral moments in our cultural life. Jenny Diski’s is likely to stand the test of time because it offers readers a bracing mix of razor-sharp analysis and wrenchingly honest autobiography.
“Why Didn’t you Just Do What You Were Told?” brings together 33 of more than 200 columns she wrote for the London Review of Books over a prolific career that included novels, short stories, memoir and travelogues. Most are book reviews, giving her a springboard for wide-ranging reflections on everyone from Jeffrey Dahmer and Denis Thatcher to Anne Frank, Princess Margaret, Martha Freud (wife of Sigmund), Roald Dahl, and many more.

News of the Week: American Essays, Muppet Debates, and Recipes For Rainy Days


The Hard Crowd by Rachel Kushner. This is also a collection of essays, by the National Book Award and Booker Prize finalist, spanning the years 2000 to 2020.
Philip Roth: The Biography by Blake Bailey. Oprah Winfrey says that this is one of the most anticipated books of the year, and you should always listen to Oprah.
International Thieves Are Stealing Legos, for Some Reason
This could be the plot of
Ocean’s 14 (it would be a Lego movie, of course).
The Muppets, Ranked
I don’t want to get into a big debate here, but I was reading this list from NPR listeners of the 25 best Muppets and I have to shake my head. Oh, I have no quarrel with Kermit grabbing the number one slot (a predictable but not unwelcome choice), but I have to say that Gonzo is ranked way too high, and Oscar the Grouch and Bert and Ernie should be ranked much higher.
