The Worst Thing of All Is the Light

"To the list of great works of metafiction—Pale Fire, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Crying of Lot 49—we can now add José Luis Serrano’s third novel, The Worst Thing of All Is the Light, an astonishing, multi-layered work."

Cocktails with a Curator

Join the curators of the Frick as they present engaging histories of works of art paired with creatively inspired cocktails—a crash course in art history and a delightful introduction to the treasures of the esteemed New York collection.Based on the critically acclaimed video series of the same name, Cocktails with a Curator is a collection of lively and informative essays. Paintings, sculpture, furniture, and porcelain—from medieval times through the glorious Renaissance to the early twentieth century—are discussed for their exemplary status. The creators are some of the greatest artists and include Rembrandt, Vermeer, Whistler, Manet, Velázquez, and Veronese, and the stories (of both artists and subjects) are tantalizing. Cocktails, with recipes, are thematically paired with the works: a Jaded Countess (absinthe, vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup) with Ingres’s portrait Comtesse d’Haussonville; a classic Pimm’s Cup with Gainsborough’s depiction of English beauty Grace Dalrymple Elliott; and a Bloody Mary (named after the last Catholic regnant queen of England) with Holbein’s painting of Sir Thomas More, who opposed the Reformation of Mary’s father, Henry VIII. The perfect addition to any art connoisseur’s library, this book is an innovative and intoxicating way to enjoy the treasures of a world-renowned art collection.

Inkonsistente Entscheidungen und mangelnde Koordinierung zwischen der für das Pandemiemanagement zuständigen zentralen Stelle und den kommunalen Behörden, die die gelbe oder grüne Ampel nach ihren eigenen Interessen und nicht nach dem Gemeinwohl stellen, und schließlich mangelnde Koordinierung und Entscheidungsfindung bei der Ankunft und Abreise von Patienten.

Decisioni inconsulte e mancanza di coordinamento tra l'organo centrale incaricato di gestire la pandemia e le autorità municipali, che stabiliscono il semaforo giallo o verde secondo i propri interessi e non il bene comune, e infine, mancanza di coordinamento e di decisione tra l'arrivo e la partenza dei pazienti.
