Numa altura em que os jovens adultos têm cada vez menos atividade sexual, fruto da alienação facilitada pelas redes sociais e outras rotinas, uma geração parece imune a essa negatividade: a das mulheres nascidas entre 1965 e 1980.

En 2019, me divorcié, a los 46 años, y pasé a tener más y mejor sexo del que nunca hubiera creído posible. No había imaginado que el final de una relación de 20 años significaría una nueva era de alto erotismo; hubiera tenido que estar delirando para pensarlo. Era de mediana edad, tenía dos hijas pequeñas, un montón de enfermedades crónicas y una cuenta bancaria que, en esencia, estaba entregada a los abogados del divorcio.

El verano pasado, Celine Dion protagonizó un momento cultural impresionante. Fue en la ceremonia de inauguración de los Juegos Olímpicos de París, justo después de una larga, alocada y maximalista preparación para el encendido del pebetero olímpico. De repente, estaba ella en una terraza de la centelleante Torre Eiffel, con un brillante vestido de Dior. Mientras cantaba, una marejada de aplausos y vítores resonó entre el público. Celine Dion estaba viva y cantaba.

This past summer, Celine Dion manufactured a breathtaking cultural moment. It was at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, just after a long, daffy and highly maximalist buildup to the lighting of the Olympic cauldron. Suddenly, there she was, standing on a terrace of the twinkling Eiffel Tower in a scintillant Dior gown. As she sang, a swell of both applause and what sounded like a collective moan of pleasure rose from the audience. Celine Dion was alive and singing.

Aquest estiu li he pagat cent dòlars a la meva filla de 12 anys perquè llegeixi un llibre. Com a maniobra maternal, no va tenir èxit fins a l’últim moment i l’import és sens dubte excessiu. No puc dir que n’estigui orgullosa, però sí que n’estic molt satisfeta. Perquè el pla ha funcionat. Ha funcionat tan bé que recomanaria a altres pares i mares d’adolescents reticents a la lectura que es rasquin la butxaca i subornin els seus fills perquè llegeixin.

You have been granted access, use your keyboard to continue reading. By Mireille SilcoffThis summer, I paid my 12-year-old daughter $100 to read a book. As far as mom maneuvers go, it was definitely last ditch and the size of the payout was certainly excessive. I can’t say I am proud — but I am extremely satisfied. Because the plan worked. It worked so well, I’d suggest other parents of reluctant readers open their wallets and bribe their kids to read, too.

I’ll begin by stating that this is not so much an essay about Diet Pepsi as it is about wine. I came out of the COVID-19 years drinking a glass of wine a day, two if I was writing, in addition to my usual weekend consumption of plentiful wine over dinner with friends. Nearly everyone in my world here in Montreal, where people are sharp and thinky and food obsessed and nobody wants to be a party pooper, told me that my kind of drinking was no problem. Still, it bothered me.
