"I’ve got a problem for your solution…"

thesmithian:

The New Yorker this week is publishing a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Thank You for the Light,” that it rejected three-quarters of a century ago.

more.

“‘Thank You for the Light,’ which Fitzgerald’s grandchildren discovered while going through his papers, is just a vignette — only a page long — almost fable-like, and written in a pared-down style that, at the end especially, seems more Hemingway than Fitzgerald,” says the NYT.

Wow, definitely want to read this!

Jessie Ware - “Wildest Moments”

Jessie Ware may have started out as the vocal hook on a couple of Joker tracks, but the buzz surrounding her debut album Devotion has grown with every song she’s released from it. “Running” and “110%” have been really good, but “Wildest Moments” is the first one that’s really caught me right in the gut.

So captivating.

“In China, the sexist term “leftover woman,” sheng nu, is widely used to describe an urban, professional female over the age of 27 who is still single. This derogatory term has been aggressively disseminated by the Chinese government, warning women that they will become spinsters if they do not marry by the time they turn 30. The irony of the media campaign is that China’s sex-ratio imbalance has resulted in a surplus of tens of millions of men who will not be able to find a bride.”
