...Despite its dismal threads of crushed self-esteem, anxiety and loneliness, "One Hundred Demons" is one of the prettiest books I have seen. Barry has a charming, appropriately childish cartooning style that belies the amount of work she must put into each page. Bright watercolors fill in the brush lines and each vignette gets a carefully collaged title page, often containing artifacts from the story thereafter.

The head of the jury that chose Hadid's design, architect Walter Naegeli, says the site for the museum - now being built and due for completion in 18 months - was difficult, basically...
...week. It is meant for sitting for a long time, chatting, prolonging the luxurious freedom of the weekend when there is nothing pressing to do. It is a time to lean close and talk hushedly of whatever debauchery one saw or did the night before. Perhaps to brush one’s slept-on and rearranged hair to the side and gaze conspiratorially at a good friend or, better, a lover. Brunch at Metro allows for the requisite lingering over one’s meal, but the déjeuner menu promises to be much more in print than what...
