Styled by Matt Holmes May 10, 2021 ONE OF THE indisputable positives of social media has been an expansion in who and what we consider beautiful. (One of the indisputable negatives has been an ever greater commodification of the self, but that’s a different letter altogether.) I am 46, old enough to remember when top models were almost uniformly white, tall and thin, and am still in awe of how, not so very long ago, many of today’s most compelling faces and bodies would never have found a career in fashion at all, rejected before they even tried for being too dark, too small, too large, too queer, too feminine, too masculine. The ability to say “I’m beautiful” — and to really, truly believe it — may not be a fundamental right, but it, too, is revolutionary in its way, reflective of contemporary upheavals in how we perceive race, gender, sexuality, ability and size. Who gets to be beautiful now? Anyone who believes themselves to be so.
By the time I procured the physical, published version of the book, I had begun to feel skeptical of the Ferrante comparison, which others had made, too. Reading The Copenhagen Trilogy is “a bit like discovering that Lila and Lenú, the fictional heroines of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan quartet, were real,” Megan O’Grady wrote in her The Copenhagen Trilogy is a memoir in three discrete parts, beginning with Ditlevsen’s youth, spent as a misunderstood child and aspiring poet, and concluding in adulthood, when Ditlevsen has become a famous author as well as a desperate (and then recovering) addict. Like Ferrante’s narrator, Lenù, Ditlevsen grows up in an insular, working-class neighborhood full of busybodies, where children—and especially girls—aren’t expected to grow up to be writers. Both stories are concerned with how to escape these conditions, and seem to offer similar possibilities: art, love.

Above is “The Ascendants XI (Homage to Ecclesiastes Three, One Through Eight)” (2021), made exclusively for T by the Chicago-based artist Wangari Mathenge, who said: “As part of the diaspora, I’m interested in what can ease the sense of displacement. The figures here might long to step out into a different kind of world, but for now they sit in comfortable silence in a shared space they’ve created for themselves. Who are the people you feel safe with? Maybe you take them for granted, but they are actually really important.”Credit...Courtesy of the artist and Roberts Projects. Photo by Brian Griffin
The Globe and Mail Stacy Lee Kong Published April 9, 2021 Handout They may deal in different eras – Janie Chang’s books are set in China before the First World War, while Kate Quinn has written about ancient Rome, Renaissance Italy and early 1900s France and England – but both authors take inspiration from what women were doing at various points in history. It’s an impulse that feels firmly grounded in our current moment – as critic Megan O’Grady argued in The New York Times’ T Magazine, “literary authors are increasingly looking back, not to comfort us with a sense of known past, or even an easy allegory of the present, but instead – motivated by a kind of clue-gathering – to seek reasons for why we are the way we are and how we got here, and at what point the train began to derail.”
The stuffed bears that one student makes began a small way for families to carry a piece of their loved ones. Now they’re helping hundreds of children nationwide cope with that loss. When Megan O’Grady founded Blue Line Bears four years ago, she hoped to bring comfort to the families of fallen officers. But she had no idea how much her act of kindness resonated with people. “I thought it was going to be like, ‘OK, let’s make like 30 bears a year,’ and then that turned into the 200 and turned into just… like, everything, and now the shop,” O’Grady said.
