The New York Review of Books Tim Parks: As a result of rapidly accelerating globalization we are moving toward a world market for literature. There is a growing sense that for an author to be considered “great,” he or she must be an international rather than a national phenomenon.

The New York Review of Books Jeremy Bernstein: Without explanation the tracker headed into the jungle, hacking his way through the vegetation to cut a path. This went on for at least another hour. I thought he would tell us that he had tried but the gorillas had gone. Then he stopped, put his hand to his lips, and pointed up. There in a tree a few... feet above us was the most remarkable animal I have ever seen.

The New York Review of Books Charles Simic: I have a collection of Buster Keaton’s films I bought when they first became available on video. Every few years I take a look at some of them, and recently, being thoroughly depressed by our wars and our politics, I watched a dozen of his shorts to cheer myself up.

The Buster Keaton Cure
The New York Review of Books Timothy Snyder: Stalin is guilty. On January 13, a Kiev court condemned him and six other Soviet high officials for genocide committed against the Ukrainian nation during the famine in 1932-1933. All seven men, of course, are long dead—but the history at issue in the case is very much alive.

The New York Review of Books Ingrid D. Rowland: If the Earth has never been shy about proclaiming the instability of its surface, the creature misnamed Homo sapiens has never been shy about ignoring the message. Dubai’s 828 meter-tall Burj Khalifa skyscraper, which opened in early January, is only the latest in a millennial series of contenders for the title of world’s tallest building ...

The New York Review of Books Max Rodenbeck visits the Jaipur Literature Festival, "a thoroughly cheerful jamboree, attended by giggling schoolkids, Bollywood houris, bearded ideologues and bookish aunties."
The New York Review of Books Timothy Snyder: I’m not sure if I was in Lithuania one recent evening—and it wasn’t the sweet Russian champagne. My wandering started in the village of Krasnogruda in northeastern Poland, home to the poet Czesław Miłosz’s mother, and only about a mile from the Lithuanian border. As the full moon rose and the pines turn...ed blue under their weight of snow, I might have crossed into Lithuania. Or perhaps not.
The New York Review of Books Perry Link: The Charter 08 movement continues to survive, despite extraordinary efforts by the Chinese government to repress it.

What Beijing Fears Most
The New York Review of Books Ingrid D. Rowland: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Pope Benedict XVI have always run a certain degree of bodily risk in their positions; the fact that they were both assaulted last month—Berlusconi wounded in the face by a sculpture-wielding psychotic and the Pope jumped at by a woman at a Christmas Eve ma...ss—was thus a matter of chance rather than any greater design, divine or human. Furthermore, violent attacks on public figures are a recurring story in Italian history ...

The New York Review of Books Ronald Dworkin: The Supreme Court's appalling decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was quickly denounced by President Obama as “devastating”; he said that it “strikes at our democracy itself.” He is right: the decision will further weaken the quality and fairness of our politics.
The New York Review of Books Sanford Schwartz: There is a kind of perverse magic to the art of Luc Tuymans. This Belgian painter has an odd gift for showing the world in disembodied, not always decipherable, and almost always ominous ways.
