To make this an even better start to the weekend, some Pompeii news: Incredibly preserved murals depicting scenes from the Trojan War were uncoveredat the ancient site. They are truly stunning and painted in a distinct style from the typical frescoes we’ve come to expect from the Vesuvian city.
Also today: Shana Moulton’s solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Nora Turato’s commentary on the self-help industry, Palestinian poet Ahmad Almallah’s untranslatable grief, and our weekly editions of Required Reading and A View From the Easel. Thanks for reading!
