By Michael Schulson

…hysical world and the loftier questions of self and soul. That kind of back-and-forth has been central to the career of David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at the Baylor College of Medicine. As an academic researcher, Eagleman has studied time perception, synesthesia, sensory input, and decision-making.

…sumer culture. But rather than write off certain varieties of yoga as mere commodities, we need to recognize they share with other yoga systems the quality of being specific to a social context—and just because that social context is consumer culture does not mean that they do not have meaning.

About two years ago, as they were doing publicity for Inside Llewyn Davis, the brothers let slip some information about their next film, to feature Ralph Fiennes, Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, and several other big-name actors. Even b…

The Gospel Church and the Ruining of Gay Lives: An Interview with Anthony Heilbut

By Douglas Harrison

…well-received records by many of gospel’s golden-age luminaries. Heilbut’s new book, The Fan Who Knew Too Much: Aretha Franklin, the Rise of the Soap Opera, Children of the Gospel Church, and Other Meditations is, as the subtitle suggests, an extended reflection on a life spent being a fan nonpareil. Not all the essays are about gospel, but the gospel chapters are the book’s emotional center. An abiding concern for Heilbut in these pages is the pl…
