Guest editor Mary Gaitskill says she put together this edition of Da Capo’s annual to be “like a mix tape of sounds a person might hear in life,” some of which “enter your imagination and take strange dream-shapes.” Manifesting strangeness are Kevin Whitehead’s disquisition on the “hidden affinity” between the music of Art Tatum and that of Thelonious Monk, Raquel Cepeda’s thoughts on the rise of “reggaeton,” and David Thorpe’s biting commentary on R.

Terrorism, sexual misconduct (more…)
