Wanted to share this article by writer Hilton Als. It's from the Summer 2009 issue of "The Believer."
I've been trying to find the painting she's standing in front of--anyone know it's by?

He seems like a fan. He seems like us! And he knows her! Who else is saying to themselves, "there's hope, there's hope!" I've always felt like my creepy fanboyism would ruin ever meeting her. However, unless I become a famous artist or journalist, that's the ONLY way I'd ever meet her anyway, trying to get backstage at a show (she never lets that happen anymore anyway). Nonetheless, this guy makes me feel better about my aforementioned obsessiveness. Having it all in one sentence, as if saying it all in one breath, makes it sound even more fanatic. I wonder what PJ thinks of the article. Also, Polly texts? |

glad you enjoyed it! checkered, i completely agree--i love how his pj love seems so urgent he needs to say it all in one breath. i love how he goes into detail about small little things too, like pj reaching over for some of his ginger at dinner or the little black bag she wore on stage (i also was curious as to why she decided to swing her mic around in that little bag). in case anyone else was just itching to know about the painting behind her, case solved! it's by francisco de goya y lucientes and it's in the met in nyc: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/49.7.41 |
