Good things happen to people that open Dirt! If you’re getting this email, you open Dirt more than 90% of the time. 

We interrupt the Summer of Bibliomancy to bring you some links for your weekend. Also, did you catch the latest Prune on the legacy of Ralph Lauren paint? If not, make sure to subscribe.

An excerpt from Charlotte Shane’s new book. Gold boxing gloves from Erie Basin. NEW MARY GAITSKILL. Leah Abrams on brat and Brat. Not everything sexy is porn. Did you catch Matthew Barney at Gladstone? How about this group show in Thomaston, Maine. (Ann Craven! Alex Katz!) Industry is coming back hotter than ever. UCLA severely fumbled Laura Dern. Motels are having a moment. We’re getting foldable iPhones. The best sandwiches in London, according to Vittles. A perfect poem about New England. 

Walden went viral…
