"역설적으로 나는 일본의 우키요에라는 명칭을 부러워하기도 했다. 우키요에(浮世繪). 풍속화의 명칭을 이렇듯 시적(詩的)이고 쉬운 표현으로 상징할 수 있는가. 浮世. 구름같이 떠도는 세상. 이렇듯 덧없는 세상을 살아갈 바에는 차라리 즐기면서 살자는 것." sctoday.co.kr/news/articleVi…
"Whether starting a glossy magazine was a good idea for John or not, you could see why running his own publication suited him. He was going to be in the public eye, so why not do it on his own terms?" lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/…
Essays I've been reading, June 2026

All the essay-reviews from my Substack newsletter, Books on Cities:
Rebbie Jackson, Centipede x.com/colinmarshall/…
Rebbie Jackson, Centipede: The oldest Jackson sibling, Rebbie may also be the least well known today, at least of those who had solo careers. She didn't actually begin hers until she was already a 34-year-old mother of two, but when the time came, she did it with an odd song.
Janet Jackson, Dream Street x.com/colinmarshall/…
Janet Jackson, Dream Street: Her second album attempts a more of-the-moment production, offering synthesized pop that sounds as if it's from slightly later than the mid-80s than it is — and rather less memorable today than the contemporary albums that retained elements of disco.

All the essays I've been reading
In the 2000s, Douglas Coupland, Charles Demers, and other writers published books about Vancouver, whose forward-looking urbanism had become the envy of North America. Have they held up? Has "Vancouverism" itself? My latest Books on Cities piece: booksoncities.com/p/from-termina…
