  2. Self-help for the literary set

    The great theorist of psychoanalysis Jacques Lacan envisioned desire as “caught in the rails of metonymy, eternally extending toward the desire for something else.” In the rhetorical figure of metonymy, a signifier points toward something else, some other signifier it's related to; just so, desire is constantly pointing toward the next object. It's not just that desire can't be satisfied — that when you obtain the object of desire, desire simply fastens on to a new object — but that satisfaction isn't even the goal of desire in the first place. No wonder we're so miserable.

  4. "I'm staying home this New Year's Eve": Tips for the party host
