According to the World Bank, approximately 12 percent of the land area in Morocco is forested, and yet that 12 percent is burning down, taking entire villages with it. Elsewhere, Northern Ireland is experiencing its hottest weather, with temperatures hitting triple digits on the Fahrenheit scale. In related news, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-Bituminous), who effectively scuttled recent attempts to deal through Congress with the climate crisis, rang the bell on contributions from energy industries again this quarter.

It's been eight years since Derek Jeter's final season as a professional ballplayer and he's softly faded to the margins of public life. Sure, there was the forgettable four-year run as CEO of the Miami Marlins (which took some of the shine of his pristine image), but unless you are a baseball fan, he's all but disappeared. Unlike his old rival/teammate/rival, Alex Rodriguez, Jeter's shown little interest in showbusiness—announcing games or being an in-studio talking head, not for him. Which is why Jeter's sudden presence on Twitter last month raised eyebrows. Why would this famously guarded man jump into the unwieldy world of social media, which can easily reduce even the coolest person into an insufferable asshole? |

There are so many perils awaiting sex in serious fiction these days that you could almost forgive a writer for playing it safe and sticking to the merely suggestive. Almost, that is, until you remember that prudence, no less than prudery, is the enemy of art. All credit, then, goes to the following writers, who press forward in spite of the sniggering. And a special shout-out to those whose devotion to literature has not rendered them too stingy to flirt with their readers, to seduce them—in the end, even, to try to turn them on. |
