The Original of Laura Reviews
Conversational Reading (Free subscription) | 11/16/2009
David Gates writes an evenhanded, lucid review of The Original of Laura : But although “The Original of Laura” has, at long last, been properly published — assuming it was proper to publish it at all — there’s not enough of it to be properly reviewed, as Nabokov himself would surely understand. “Not quite finished” with the manuscript? This was a sad understatement,...

T om Spurgeon contemplates an article from a couple of months back: On The Subject Of Return Reading "The author and music writer David Gates penned an article this summer for Newsweek -- where I think he's a staffer -- on the pleasures of re-reading. Gates seems to view re-reading as way to spend time in the company of memorable characters that have touched him in his lifelong give-and-take with...

Last night I was out with some people, and one of them was Erica Plouffe Lazure, singer in The Dog House Band (pictured above), which is the Bennington MFA-based country-rock outfit whose membership also includes David Gates and Sven Birkerts. Unsurprisingly, the woman in the all-writers-band is herself–wait for it–a writer. Here’s “Evisceration Line,” a [...]

Anybody checked out Newsweek’s book section lately? I always think of the magazine as existing primarily to keep Time company on my aunt and uncle’s coffee table, but this week’s book features were fun enough to warrant a bookmark. David Gates has written an eclectic ramble on the pleasures of rereading; they’ve put together a [...]

Jackson Played Peter Pan to Charm White America
Top Stories from Newser (Free subscription) | 06/29/2009
A musical genius, yes, but Michael Jackson was also a master of performing roles. And his greatest may have been that of a de-sexualized, non-threatening black man who appealed to white audiences, David Gates writes in Newsweek . The King of Pop looked "blackest" on the cover of 1979's Off the Wall ; by Thriller , he had started to develop a "precocious cuteness" that lacked the...

A Pearl of Consciousness in an Oyster of Physicality
a blind flaneur (Free subscription) | 06/09/2009
Book reviewer David Gates crafts this marvelous phrase in summarizing a scene from Samuel Beckett’s Molloy: Early in Samuel Beckett’s trilogy of novels, the inwardly articulate but outwardly brutish derelict Molloy, used to being immured in his own lurching, stinking body — a pearl of consciousness in an oyster of physicality — tells of finding himself [...]
