Curating some of the best recent links across literature, philosophy, and the arts
This is the sixth in a weekly series that brings together the articles, reviews, interviews and miscellany that has caught my eye over the past seven days. Including: H. R. Giger’s artwork for Frank Herbert’s Dune; an two-part interview about the letters of Samuel Beckett; and the total figure that Truman Capote’s ashes raised at auction. Take a look, and feel free to share!
