Book of the Week
Shopgirl
By Steve Martin
The New York Times, John Lanchester called it an “elegant, bleak, desolatingly sad first novella” and added, “The prose here is sometimes flat . . . the happy ending feels as if it has wandered in from somewhere else.”
In spite of the above, I really liked this book.

Wednesday night I saw this film at a theater. There is nothing like seeing a film on the big screen, but I think you will enjoy this funny film regardless of how you see it.

Extraordinary Person of the Week
Dr. Jane Goodall
Goodall’s work challenged prevailing scientific views by showing that chimpanzees make and use tools, hunt co-operatively, and display complex emotions and social structures once thought unique to humans. (Source: Wikipedia)
Art of the Week
Portrait of Sylvette
By Pablo Picasso
Sylvette David was the daughter of a Parisian art dealer who, during the summer of 1953, met 73-year-old Picasso at his pottery.
Finding her appearance appealing, Picasso asked her to be his model and subsequently created 60 works inspired by her over the course of two months, including drawings, paintings and small metal sculptures.
This was the most concentrated series of works that Picasso produced of a model in his lifetime. [Source Wikipedia]

Hit the road, Jack🎵 What a great video!
Picasso was amazing. I can see one of his cool cubist abstracts of Sylvette peeking out from behind his charcoal drawing of her.
This week I watched Operation Mad Ball with Jack Lemmon, Kathryn Grant, Ernie Kovacs, and Mickey Rooney. I didn’t know Rooney could dance. He was quite athletic!

Thank you for commenting Priscilla. I also get a kick out of that Hit the Road Jack cover. I’ve used it in the blog before. I just recently saw it again and just had to use it. Good eye, catching that abstract of Sylvette. She has a different name now, but still alive at 91.
