Here's an odd bit of personal 2020 trivia: The last movie I bought a ticket to see in a theater was "A Rainy Day in New York." That was in January, when I squandered part of a wintry afternoon in Bologna, Italy, and dragged my blameless spouse to a matinee of what was then the latest Woody Allen film. (A newer one, "Ri...

Yes, the same Shed that had been so grandly canceled as a fashion venue only a season before, thanks to the fact t...

The ambivalence of Franz's position begins with the first day of her year alone: Feb. 29, leap year day, "a day that does and does not exist." The same might be said of Franz herself.
