At 82, Glenda Jackson Commands the Most Powerful Role in Theater
THE BALLAD OF GEESHIE AND ELVIE
by John Jeremiah Sullivan
An astounding essay about two women musicians, about the history of the blues, about the history of collecting, … about the history of so much, really.
Sullivan is one of my favorite essayists and this essay is a masterpiece. And the New York Times has done great job at integrating the music into the article.
This is a fantastic article by Rebecca Solnit, another one of my favorite essayists (I have a couple of favorites) about the past, present, and future of Lake Powell.
