class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘A Better World’ by Sarah Langan. \u003ccite>(Atria Books)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sarah Langan’s \u003cem>A Better World\u003c/em> is one of those novels that burrow under your skin a little deeper with each chapter until you feel profoundly unsettled but also incapable of turning away. A very sinister thriller with a dash of science-fiction and full of inscrutabilities, this novel about a mother trying to save her family from a dying world is as entreating and creepy as it is timely and humane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13955954']The Farmer-Bowens are struggling. Russell, the family’s father and Linda’s husband has lost his job, and they’re quickly running out of money and options. Linda, a pediatrician, can’t get enough hours to keep them afloat. Their kids, twins Hip and Josie, have somewhat normal lives, but Linda knows they deserve better than the polluted, dying world New York has to offer them. That’s why an invitation to visit Plymouth Valley, a walled-off company town with a good school where food is free, there’s no crime, and the air is clean is such a great opportunity. If Russell can get the job, Linda’s career will suffer, but the whole family will live in a much better, cleaner place, and they won’t have to worry about becoming homeless. When Russell is offered the job, the family jumps at the chance of a better life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plymouth Valley is as clean and organized as they said, but there’s something right below the surface that feels off. The locals have some strange customs, the sum of which they call the Hollow, and they seem to hate outsiders. After the initial shock of their move wears off, the Farmer-Bowens begin to feel ostracized and struggle to adapt. No one talks to them or invites them to their events. The kids at school shun Hip and Josie. Russell’s coworkers refuse to help him achieve his goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13955156']Luckily, things change when Linda starts volunteering as a doctor for ActHollow, a small charity run by some of the most powerful and influential people in town. Finally, the family has the perfect life. Except they don’t. Plymouth Valley is more than strange, and it’s full of secrets and populated by folks with hidden agendas, bizarre birds, and maybe something monstrous hiding in the nuclear shelter tunnels that run under the entire town. The Farmer-Bowens have no clue what they’re surrounded by, and the towns biggest and most ominous yearly event, the Plymouth Valley Winter Festival, is approaching. Linda might be asking too many questions, but maybe Plymouth Valley is very different than how it pretends to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>A Better World\u003c/em> is relentlessly creepy. Langan presents a controlled community where some things might seem off, but where the quality of life makes any weirdness worth it. Then, she quickly lifts the veil to reveal an increasingly odd, incredibly hostile, and extremely secretive world where people will do anything to get a “golden ticket” to stay in Plymouth Valley, there’s a horrible hazing process for all newcomers, mental health is on shaky grounds, alcoholism runs rampant, and where almost every smile and flash of “prayer hands” is fake and hides some ulterior motive. The outside world is dystopia that’s slowly killing all humans, but the perfect life of Plymouth Valley is just a facade that hides a community that’s rotten at its core. And Langan doesn’t just show a rotten world; she uses Plymouth Valley to explore wealth, the social effects of living in constant competition, and the evil sides of power and privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social critique is always there, but it never gets in the way of the action or interferes with Langan’s storytelling, which here is full of strangeness that borders on horror. Also, there are plenty of elements that add eerie layers to this narrative. Two worth mentioning are the strange form of cancer some kids have in Plymouth Valley, which is called “aplastic anemia,” and the “caladrius,” strange flightless birds that were genetically engineered. The birds are all over the place, live next to the houses, and serve as occasional food or as sacrifice while also occasionally feeding on food made from their own. These two elements, along with some others, start out as relatively simple things that, while strange, are not disturbing. But that slowly changes until the mere presence of the big birds manages to convey a sense of unease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13955903']In \u003cem>A Better World\u003c/em>, everyone is hiding something, and getting to the bottom of things is a very entertaining ride full of bumps, bad vibes, and hidden dangers. Certain books rely mostly on atmosphere to deliver their story — Ira Levin’s \u003cem>Rosemary’s Baby\u003c/em> and Shirley Jackson’s \u003cem>The Haunting of Hill House\u003c/em>, for example — and Langan does that here. This is a story about survival where a woman is caught between two bad places with nowhere to go, but we want her to triumph.

Russell, the family’s father and Linda’s husband has lost his job, and they’re quickly running out of money and options. Linda, a pediatrician, can’t get enough hours to keep them afloat. Their kids, twins Hip and Josie, have somewhat normal lives, but Linda knows they deserve better than the polluted, dying world New York has to offer them. That’s why an invitation to visit Plymouth Valley, a walled-off company town with a good school where food is free, there’s no crime, and the air is clean is such a great opportunity. If Russell can get the job, Linda’s career will suffer, but the whole family will live in a much better, cleaner place, and they won’t have to worry about becoming homeless. When Russell is offered the job, the family jumps at the chance of a better life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plymouth Valley is as clean and organized as they said, but there’s something right below the surface that feels off. The locals have some strange customs, the sum of which they call the Hollow, and they seem to hate outsiders. After the initial shock of their move wears off, the Farmer-Bowens begin to feel ostracized and struggle to adapt. No one talks to them or invites them to their events.

Finally, the family has the perfect life. Except they don’t. Plymouth Valley is more than strange, and it’s full of secrets and populated by folks with hidden agendas, bizarre birds, and maybe something monstrous hiding in the nuclear shelter tunnels that run under the entire town. The Farmer-Bowens have no clue what they’re surrounded by, and the towns biggest and most ominous yearly event, the Plymouth Valley Winter Festival, is approaching. Linda might be asking too many questions, but maybe Plymouth Valley is very different than how it pretends to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>A Better World\u003c/em> is relentlessly creepy. Langan presents a controlled community where some things might seem off, but where the quality of life makes any weirdness worth it. Then, she quickly lifts the veil to reveal an increasingly odd, incredibly hostile, and extremely secretive world where people will do anything to get a “golden ticket” to stay in Plymouth Valley, there’s a horrible hazing process for all newcomers, mental health is on shaky grounds, alcoholism runs rampant, and where almost every smile and flash of “prayer hands” is fake and hides some ulterior motive. The outside world is dystopia that’s slowly killing all humans, but the perfect life of Plymouth Valley is just a facade that hides a community that’s rotten at its core. And Langan doesn’t just show a rotten world; she uses Plymouth Valley to explore wealth, the social effects of living in constant competition, and the evil sides of power and privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social critique is always there, but it never gets in the way of the action or interferes with Langan’s storytelling, which here is full of strangeness that borders on horror. Also, there are plenty of elements that add eerie layers to this narrative. Two worth mentioning are the strange form of cancer some kids have in Plymouth Valley, which is called “aplastic anemia,” and the “caladrius,” strange flightless birds that were genetically engineered. The birds are all over the place, live next to the houses, and serve as occasional food or as sacrifice while also occasionally feeding on food made from their own. These two elements, along with some others, start out as relatively simple things that, while strange, are not disturbing. But that slowly changes until the mere presence of the big birds manages to convey a sense of unease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13955903","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>In \u003cem>A Better World\u003c/em>, everyone is hiding something, and getting to the bottom of things is a very entertaining ride full of bumps, bad vibes, and hidden dangers.

He turned up on the show to promote\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDFFY6swDY0\"> his new Max travel series \u003c/a>and wasted no time seizing control of the interview and the premise itself. O’Brien is known as a performer who can’t help but be “on” all the time, no matter the size of his audience. When he wrote on \u003cem>The Simpsons\u003c/em>, he and his colleagues in the writers’ room would be sitting around a table; they’d be pitching jokes, and he’d be miming an elaborate routine in which he was an astronaut strapping himself into a rocket ship — all for the benefit of the guys across the table from him. On his podcast,\u003cem> Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend\u003c/em>, he tosses out an incessant series of bits to the delight (mostly) of his producer and assistant. There’s a restless, needy quality to his comedy that would be worrisome if his instincts weren’t so sharp if he wasn’t funny as he is.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The perfect guest?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But before we unpack how and why O’Brien just became the best \u003cem>Hot Ones\u003c/em> guest ever, we need to consider the show itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time you heard the premise of \u003cem>Hot Ones\u003c/em>, the YouTube series on which celebrities are interviewed by the affable and scrupulously well-prepared host Sean Evans as they consume a series of increasingly spicy buffalo wings, you probably thought it sounded like a dumb gimmick. Then you probably started poking around to see if any of your favorite celebrities had been a guest. Then you watched one episode. And then, it was all over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13952823']There are entire Reddit forums dedicated to ranking which \u003cem>Hot Ones\u003c/em> guests are “the best,” but determining that involves a very subjective calculus. Some want to see guests melt down; others want them to power through without breaking a sweat. Some watch in the hope that they’ll gain new insights into the personality of a given celebrity as the various hot sauces start to dissolve their pat, media-trained soundbites like the blood of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEqHJ1tomnk\">Xenomorph eats through the Nostromo\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is that there’s a \u003cem>Hot Ones\u003c/em> episode for whatever you’re looking for. Different guests react very differently, and your favorite episode may not be anyone else’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, a great guest has to come in with hubris — the excessive pride of tragic heroes — because they bring their own narrative arc to the endeavor. Because Idris Elba approached the challenge with dismissive bravado, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYRS0aXaBC8\">his downfall — coughing, sweating, swearing, mock-threatening a producer\u003c/a> — was all the more satisfying.

Padma Lakshmi \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-P5-7eV9GE\">stayed cool in every sense of the word \u003c/a>as she answered Evans’ questions and commented insightfully on the flavor profiles of the various sauces (even the infamous Da Bomb, which clocks in at 119,700 Scoville units and reportedly tastes as if kerosene were angry at you).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-cQ_Wtv0sQ\">Elijah Wood\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxGmGGmvFD8\">Tom Holland\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBJq-XCP27c\">Michael Cera\u003c/a> demonstrated a deep knowledge of the show, endearing them to fans.

Specifically, they’ve marveled at his questions, which are both deeply researched and novel. It’s fun to watch celebrities who have repeatedly spent their careers answering the same questions on press junkets realize that they’ve just been asked a question about something they dearly love and no one else has ever asked them about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s true — Evans is a good interviewer. But as a host myself, I’d love to hear him give his researchers some of the love he gets from guests. And if I have any quibble with the show, it’s that Evans is so thoroughly prepared that his questions always sound more like written English than spoken English; there’s a formality in the wording that doesn’t quite jibe with the looseness of the chemistry the show aims for.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Now, about that Conan episode.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\" cite=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@firstwefeast/video/7356962983794314539\" data-video-id=\"7356962983794314539\">\n\u003csection>\u003ca title=\"@firstwefeast\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@firstwefeast?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@firstwefeast\u003c/a> @Team Coco \u003ca title=\"♬ original sound - Firstwefeast\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7356963250321230634?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">♬ original sound – Firstwefeast\u003c/a>\u003c/section>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[tiktok]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conan has catapulted himself to the top of the list of \u003cem>Hot Ones\u003c/em> All-Stars because he knew exactly what he was getting into and what he had to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>1.

He loaded them up and smeared them across the table until they were laden with every stray drop. He licked them — lovingly, yet somehow angrily at the same time. He spread them across his face like woad; he slathered them around his nipples.

Domínguez, it’s as if a ghost has appeared in the comfortable home she shares with her partner, Vera, in Chile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three years have passed since her last interaction with M., whom she had the privilege of knowing as Mateo, and she thought she’d finally shaken off the remnants of their relationship. But when the journalist tells her that a young woman has accused M. of sexual assault, Tatum is both surprised and not. “You weren’t that person with me, not exactly,” she writes to Mateo, “but the fingerprints of our stories are strikingly similar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13955214']So begins Ursula Villarreal-Moura’s debut novel, \u003cem>Like Happiness, \u003c/em>which movingly portrays its protagonist coming to terms with the imbalanced, difficult, and sometimes harmful friendship with Mateo that was, at the same time, an essential, and at times euphoric, part of her life for many years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short chapters set in Tatum’s present-day, 2015, she narrates the process of deciding whether to talk to the NYT journalist investigating Mateo’s misdeeds, and how much she should divulge. Most of the novel, however, addresses Mateo directly, as Tatum tries to untangle the story of their decade-long unequal friendship, to understand how early its painful patterns began, and to acknowledge her own role within their dynamic, which kept her trapped within a life smaller than the one she wanted and deserved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raised by working-class parents in Texas, Tatum fell in love with books early, finding in them a way to “counter the loneliness and boredom of being an only child.” When she goes to Williams College, she feels like she doesn’t fit in, believes she might be the only Latina on campus, and admits that in the early days she was “too proud to say that perhaps Massachusetts—home of Plath and Sexton—wasn’t for [her].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When, in her senior year, she comes across M. Domínguez’s short story collection, \u003cem>Happiness\u003c/em>, she’s enraptured, and reads it over and over again. Finally, she decides to write to M., care of his publisher. In part, her letter reads: “Although I’m Chicana, not Boricua like you or your characters, I identify with the Latino culture in your work and have found your book to be affirming. It’s not often that I see myself reflected in literature, TV, or music… I find your book so indispensable. Your work legitimizes Latino culture and quietly celebrates it. I apologize for placing so much responsibility upon your writing. My intention isn’t to overwhelm you, but to thank you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13954709']Unexpectedly, Mateo responds, and soon he and Tatum are exchanging emails, phone calls, and the intimacies of their daily lives, the music they enjoy, the books they revere, and more. Mateo even comes to stay with Tatum on Cape Cod when she gets a housesitting gig there for the summer after she graduates. Is this inappropriate? Tatum is 22 or so at this point, clearly an adult; she knows her own mind and can certainly foster a friendship with an older man if she wishes. But Mateo is 30, a renowned if tokenized author, with more money, power, and status than his young admirer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of the following decade, Tatum becomes more and more intertwined with Mateo’s life. She travels with him to reading gigs all over the country; she tends to his insecurities and soothes his ego; she nurses both romantic and platonic feelings for him, sometimes reciprocated yet often not; and, perhaps most importantly, she allows her preoccupation with both his brilliance and his confessed brokenness to undermine her own desires, aspirations, and difficulties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.triquarterly.org/interviews/conversation-ursula-villarreal-moura\">2022 interview\u003c/a> with the literary magazine \u003cem>TriQuarterly\u003c/em>, Villarreal-Moura said, “Everyone assumes my fiction is autobiographical. That probably has to do with my being a woman. People always assume women are writing about their lives.” Back then, \u003cem>Like Happiness\u003c/em> had only recently sold, and all potential readers knew then was that it was about a lengthy relationship between a famous Puerto Rican writer and a young Mexican American college student that begins when she writes him a fan letter.

Simpson probably confused matters more over the years by saying, famously, “I’m not Black. I’m O.J.” But for many Black Americans who felt their interactions with police and the courts had produced unjust results, the acquittal was a notable exception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a sense that it’s only justice for a rich Black man to get off when a rich white man would,” said John Baick, a professor of history at Western New England University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three decades on, that conversation isn’t over — he’s certainly still discussing it with students. On Thursday, Baick invoked Simpson to talk about race, fame and wealth in class; only after it ended did he find out his subject had died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_11665308']A generation has passed since these events were fresh. And after thousands of hours of video, millions of written words and countless talking heads weighing in, the O.J. Simpson case stands as two things: an American moment like no other, and an interlude that contained so much of what American culture is and was becoming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the old, weird America, it got the obsession with violent true crime and its quirky cast of film noir villains and heroes, not to mention the tragedy and the whodunit. And it was a teaser trailer of the emerging, fragmenting internet culture that would, in a few years, give us smartphones, social media, reality-TV saturation and live coverage of just about everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Was it, as so many said so loudly, “the trial of the century”? That’s subjective. But any culture is made up of small bits, and the Simpson case left many of those in its wake. This much is incontrovertibly true: After the slow-speed chase, American media culture got a whole lot faster really quickly.

Some babies don’t get their formula, for example.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ToWTxhYkrKk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ToWTxhYkrKk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>As with the first film — the style is very much the same — we’re taken across the country (and beyond), listening to a stream of voices: organizers, workers, farmers, nutritionists, politicians, entrepreneurs, scientists.

If we’re eating fruits and vegetables, Schlosser and Pollan tell us, we’re part of a chain of exploitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With flashy, colorful and user-friendly graphics, the film traces industry consolidation: the few companies who have 70% of the carbonated drinks market, for example, or 80% of the baby food market.

His ideas are borne out by an experiment at the National Institutes of Health that shows people who eat such highly processed foods consume a whopping 500 more calories per day. Mark Schatzker (\u003cem>The Dorito Effect\u003c/em>) talks about artificial flavors and how they trick the body into eating more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are there solutions to all this? The filmmakers consider a bunch, approving of some more than others. Everyone’s coming up with “plant-based” substitutes (fake chicken wings, honey without bees.)
