Review of 'The Singer Sisters'
There's a meta-genre of fiction epitomized in different but overlapping ways by Eddie and the Cruisers, Rob Reiner's This Is Spinal Tap, and Daisy Jones and the Six -- the first and the third adapted to the screen from novels -- that helps us understand what those who make music that lights up our nights are doing, feeling, and thinking when they're off-stage and not in the studio. Sarah Seltzer's The Singer Singers, a debut novel to be published this August, not only fits well in that narrative family, but in some ways exceeds it. I'd expect to see it adapted on some kind of screen before too long.

The Commercialization of Mental Health and the Impact of Blue Monday. Content Warning.
I'm starting to empathize with January lately. It constantly receives negative attention, doesn't it? It's burdened with gloominess, darkness, and cold, and everyone's financially strained due to Christmas. But is it fair to blame January for all of this? Did it willingly position itself right after the annual feast of overindulgence, when people go wild with mulled wine and think it’s okay to survive on mince pies and brandy butter for 12 consecutive days? Meanwhile, January is mainly associated with abstinence and the infamous Blue Monday, considered the most depressing day of the year, landing on the third Monday of the month.
