Afterlives: Recovering the Lost Stories of Looted Art

Darsie Alexander

"Afterlives: Recovering the Lost Stories of Looted Art" @TheJewishMuseum gives a cursorily positive spin to history and can't be bothered to illuminate aspects of Jewish religious and intellectual life that the museum itself once championed. My review: https://t.co/QSzrObari1

Oslo

J. T. Rogers
Edward RothsteinEdward Rothstein

If HBO's version of J. T. Rogers's "Oslo" equals Lincoln Center's, it will combine excellent theater with terrible politics - a bit like the Oslo Accord. Its Palestinian negotiator boasted it was a "Trojan Horse" and terrorism increased. My '17 review: https://t.co/JujUbzopgl
