A long, freezing wait for a few hushed moments: a people’s farewell to Jimmy Carter

LA Times

First came the public pomp, in dying hours of winter daylight: a horse-drawn caisson bearing the flag-draped casket, dignitaries with bowed heads, the snow-muffled echo of a military honor guard’s precision footsteps. But then, as night fell Tuesday on the nation’s capital, came the quieter tributes: ordinary people — first in the hundreds, swelling into the thousands — gathering in …

‘GNX’: Kendrick Lamar at his most anti-heroic

Live Mint

Over the past decade or so, the Kendrick Lamar mythos had become increasingly grandiose—the only rapper to win a Pulitzer; a conceptual genius making high-brow art; the saviour of hip-hop who embodied the genre’s moral backbone. “Motherf–k" the big three, n—a, it’s just big me," he responded on Future & Metro Boomin’s track Like That, igniting a generation-defining rap beef. …

Book of a lifetime: Atlas Maior by Joan Blaeu

The Independent

For many years I had assumed that the German publishers Taschen produced mostly fetishistic erotica and massive books about Muhammad Ali, but recently I have been knocked out by some of its other fare – not least the reproduction of Joan Blaeu’s ridiculously lavish world atlas from the heyday of Dutch map-making. In one sense it never will be bettered, …
