...five parts, and it will give you some idea of the book's tone, rigorously literary and ridiculously informal at the same time, to know that those parts are titled "The Part about Fate," "The Part about the Crimes" and so on, as if they were Friends episodes. (The flawless translation, by Natasha Wimmer, is appropriately loose and relaxed.) Part 1 is called "The Part about the Critics...
...squad secure the ECAC regular-season title, scoring the game-winning goal in the last five minutes of a 3-1 victory against Princeton. Buesser exemplifies the level-headedness and ruthless determination the Crimson needs to come out on top this season. Last year after finishing a near-flawless season with an overall 32-2-0 record, and going undefeated at home, Harvard let it all go at crunch-time: the national semifinals.

Her flawless technique and assured assimilation of the role originated by Patricia McBride was aided by James Whiteside’s able partnering. Whiteside later appeared in “Ein Von Viel,” a modern ballet choreographed by Sabrina Matthews whose main innovation was bringing a grande piano onstage...
...This is bilingual art. This is progressive art. If this is not truly modern art, I’m not sure what is. Xu’s is art that accepts flawless cross-cultural translation for what it is—an impossibility—and therefore embraces the inevitability that both textual and non-textual images will have vastly dissimilar impressions on viewers of different tongues and backgrounds. The unfortunate and unfair byproduct of not being born in an English-speaking country is that one cannot naturally create visual art using the ‘cultura franca?...
