It’s Sunday afternoon — your last chance to read all that stuff you meant to read last week before Monday brings a new deluge of things you will want to read. Below, some of our recommendations:
“Girl, Uninterruptible†by Jim Windolf (Vanity Fair): The refreshing rise of Jennifer Lawrence.
“The Rules of the Game†by Anne Helen Petersen (The Virginia Quarterly Review): A look at the Hollywood publicity machine’s first hundred years.
“Goon Squad could have been better!†by Jennifer Egan (Salon): The Pulitzer Prize-winning author on the dangers of praise.
“Guest Lists: Mykki Blanco†by Larry Fitzmaurice (Pitchfork): The Harlem rapper talks about Fiona Apple, Marilyn Manson, JFK Airport, and slimy green linens (technically from last week, but still good.)
