Around the web #4
- Momus on supermarkets and style, focusing especially on a market I shopped at in Berlin in January
- The San Francisco Chronicle reports (via Bookslut) that socialite Dede Wilsey is considering filing a lawsuit against the Penguin Group if they publish her stepson Sean Wilsey's memoir. It was excerpted last month in The New Yorker (though I can't find the excerpt online), and I've skimmed an advance copy of the book, Oh the Glory of It All, which is very entertaining and which I hope to read in full. Wilsey also wrote a funny piece for the LRB in mid-March that was (nominally) a review of Robert Sullivan's Rats. Lastly, an online-only interview with Wilsey about writing his book.
- Today the Guardian runs a profile of Nicholas Serota and a piece by Greil Marcus on Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and Matthew Collings on Art Since 1900
