“When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, NYU Winthrop’s CyberKnife was the answer to my prayers.” = Oe Apostle Billy Richards G ship Ministries Following a routine physical, Pastor Billy Richards of Grace Fellowship Ministries in Brooklyn was referred to a urologist for further testing where he learned the news that shocked him. He had prostate cancer. After much prayer and discussion with his family, Pastor Richards decided to hold off on treatment because he did not like the options he was given, especially surgery. Then, he heard about CyberKnife’ at NYU Winthrop Hospital. CyberKnife radiation therapy is as effective as surgery, but with no pain, no recovery period and less risk of side effects compared to other treatments. After five brief sessions, the treatment was a complete success. Today, Pastor Richards is convinced he has a second calling. “I'm a witness that CyberKnife works,” he says. NYU Winthrop is the only CyberKnife Center in both Manhattan and Long Island. For more information about CyberKnife, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.

DISPATCH Lauren Hilgers on how two waves of COVID-19 cases swept through the Texas Panhandle. RG / MAGNUM; RIGHT: JABIN BOTSFORD / THE WASHINGTON POST / GETTY LEFT JIM GOLDB THE MAIL COVERING MINNEAPOLIS Reading Luke Mogelson's impeccably reported account of the Minneapolis protests following George Floyd’s death ‘was cathartic (“The Uprising,” June 22nd). T'ma reporter for WCCO-TV, the CBS station in Minneapolis, and was there with Mogelson during many of the events that occurred in the Third and Fifth Precincts. His piece crystallized for me, a white man, the “fundamentally unknowable” fear that Black protesters have of law enforcement. I will always remember the officer in riot gear who sprinted toward my photographer and me, rifle pointed, screaming repeatedly, “Get the fuck back!” After we turned a corner ina frightened retreat, the officer pursued us down halfa block, and I won- dered why he couldn't treat us like human beings. Mogelson makes clear that what I felt in that moment was what some Black protesters say they feel every time they see an officer. Several people I met during my reporting told me that they wouldn't consider it a loss to abolish the police, because they’ve never felt pro- tected or served by law enforcement in the first place. David Schuman Minneapolis, Minn. MID-CENTURY MYTHS Paul Elie’s commentary on the extent to which Flannery O'Connor was rac- ist suggests that Angela Alaimo O’Don- nell, in her new study of the author and race, “backdates O’Connor as a writer of her time when she was a near-con- temporary of writers typically seen as writers of our time” (A Critic at Large, June 22nd). As proof, Elie calls up five writers whose birth dates correspond to O’Connor’s—Marquez, Angelou, Le Guin, Wolfe, and Walcott—imply- ing, with some finger-wagging, that O'Connor, by comparison, was incapa- ble of thinking outside of her time and place. But O’Connor died in 1964, at age thirty-nine, and the writers whom Elie cites all lived until the twenty-tens. ‘We cannot know how O'Connor's ideas might have evolved as she witnessed events—like the election of a Black Pres- ident—that a white woman living in the rural South in the nineteen-fifties would not have perceived as possible. O'Connor died too soon. Margaret Earley Whitt Professor Emerita Department of English University of Denver Denver, Colo. AFTER THE RACE RIOTS Jill Lepore, in her survey of U.S. com- missions appointed to investigate race riots, says that they allow governments to “appear to be doing something” about racial injustice “while actually doing nothing” (“The Riot Report,”June 22nd). This may be true, but for me, as a young white journalist covering civil-rights protests in the nineteen-sixties, the John- son Administration's Kerner Commission made a profound and lasting impres- sion, especially in its recommendation to improve newsroom diversity. In 1979, as the news editor of the Rapid City Journal, | hired Tim Giago, South Da- kota’s first Native American newsperson. He later left to start his own weekly, the Lakota Times, with his then wife, Doris, on the Pine Ridge reservation. Tim trained others who went on to found their own Native newspapers, and Doris became the first Indian journalism pro- fessor at South Dakota State Univer- sity. In 1990, in response to Tim's pro- posal to rename Columbus Day, the state became the first to officially cele- brate Native Americans’ Day, In that part of the country, the Kerner Com- mission report is not a forgotten docu- ment—it was a pebble dropped in a still lake.

Here's a selection of culture to be found online and streaming. | GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN JULY 15 - 21, 2020 With live dance performances mostly on pause, dancemakers have been pivoting to video in a hurry. This makes the Dance on Camera festival, now in its forty-eighth year, especially relevant. Streaming online July 17-20 (at dancefilms.org), it showcases short films, including Susan Misner’s powerful and timely “Bend,” and feature documentaries, such as Khadifa Wong's “Uprooted: The Journey of Jazz Dance (above), which illuminates an often disrespected genre and a history as complex as that of race in America. (OPPOSITE: COURTESY DARYL GETMAN, {ATION BY YUKAI DU & MUSIC 6lack: “6pc Hot” #8. The singer-rapper 6lack often roots his minimal R. & B. in the sights and sounds of Atlanta, where he grew up. His new EP, “6pc Hot,” is a subtle ode to his city: its title is a nod to Atlanta chicken-wing joints, and its songs are dotted with memories of late-night drives, walks through his neighborhood, and visits to local spots. The specificity sharp- ens spare tracks about love and heartbreak that might have otherwise felt generic, and it reflects a sense of time as well as place. On “Outside,” 6lack sings about longing for connection amid the pandemic, capturing a quiet desire to be back in his community. The piano-driven melody is intimate and pretty, even in its restlessness.—Julyssa Lopez “Infinite Now” opera The Israeli-born, Boston-based composer Chaya Czernowin drew upon two disparate literary sources—Can Xue's short story “Hlome- coming” and Luk Perceval’s play “Front,” partly based on Erich Maria Remarque’s “All Quiet on the Western Front”—to create her opera “In- finite Now.” A stark ritual for singers and actors set to music that proceeds inexorably from hush to maelstrom, the piece juxtaposes literal war with a battlefield of the mind to evoke personal struggle against a hopeless situation. It was widely acclaimed as one of the banner events of 2017, and now its premiere staging, directed by Perceval and filmed at the Flemish Opera, in Ghent, Belgium, streams for free on YouTube for the next six months, courtesy of Opera- Vision, a generous codperative program that showcases productions from twenty-nine inter- national companies.—Steve Smith (July 17 at 1.) Khruangbin: “Mordechai” EXPERIMENTAL FUNK The Houston trio Khruang- bin is hard to place, and that's part of its allure. ‘The band gets its name from a Thai word that roughly translates to “flying engine,” and, at live shows, the bassist and the guitarist cultivate an air of mystery by hiding beneath heavy, fringed wigs.’The music—composed of complex tangles that twist together retro funk, sixties Thai pop, Middle Eastern scales, and psychedelic soul— sounds as though it's coming from everywhere all at once. But Khruangbin's latest release, “Mordechai,” is looser, more lyrical, and more accessible than previous records; “Time (You and I)” could power a disco party for hours, and the sunny guitars of “So We Won't Forget” stretch out like an endless summer day.—J.L. Marcin Wasilewski Trio & Joe Lovano: “Arctic Riff” yazz Marcin Wasilewski is a smart, lyrical pianist who can get heated—but never too heated—when the music demands it, and on “Arctic Riff” he leads a spruce, contained trio that has become a mainstay of the decorously modernist record label ECM. With the addi- tion of the saxophonist Joe Lovano, a noted individualist who uncanaily finds his place in seemingly any musical situation, the album's ad-hoc quartet produces a seamless blend of inviting original songs, moody group impro- visations, and two invigorating takes on Carla Bley’s evergreen “Vashkar.’—Steve Futterman “To My Distant Love” ctassicat On Site Opera, refusing to allow social-distancing guidelines to get in the way of its site-specific productions, lets each audi- ence member choose the setting for a private performance of “To My Distant Love.” The baritone Mario Diaz-Moresco, accompanied by the pianist Spencer Myer, places a phone call to one ticket holder and sings the six songs of Beethoven's “An die Ferne Geliebte,” a gentle expression of longing in a time of separation; the audience member, assuming the role of the be- loved, can take the call from a couch, a sidewalk, ora perch at a misty window. The soprano Jen- nifer Zetlan and the pianist David Shimoni take over these one-on-one performances from July 30 to Aug. 16.—Oussama Zahr (July 16-Aug. 23.) Rufus Wainwright: “Unfollow the Rules” rock Nobody sings quite like Rufus Wainwright, who, in a single breath, channels ennui and high drama while somehow managing to sound vaguely pissed off. In the years that he was stationed in New York, he often trained his talents on grandiose cosmopolitan fare, from opera to a re-creation of Judy Garland’s famed Carnegie Hall concert, from 1961. Wainwright is now in Los Angeles, and his new album, “Unfollow the Rules,” reflects those environs. The disk has a California swoon—the high culture to which it bows is not Puccini but Nilsson—and was hatched in some of the same studios as his 1998 début. If the new LP lacks that record’s youthful crackle, it still burns, this time with a slyly feminine allegiance to such subjects as Joni Mitchell, Wainwright's daughter, and a testy fashion-world habitant with ‘a solid-steel bob.” Not surprisingly, the singer with the aggravated tone empathizes with emotionally guarded characters. “In fact,” his fashionista confesses, “T'm actually rather nice.”—Jay Ruttenberg Jessie Ware: “What's Your Pleasure?” pop The British vocalist Jessie Ware has been as much a presence on hip dance floors—thanks to remixes of her tracks by others—as on the U.K. charts. For her fourth album, “What's Your Pleasure?,” the huskily soulful singer and her producer, James Ford, have fashioned a pastiche of classic disco that renders outside CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL In the liner notes of Mahan Esfahani’s newest album, “Musique?,” the idiosyncratic harpsichord virtuoso references American critics who've com- plained that his concert programs lack an overarching concept and merely reflect whatever he feels like playing. “That, of course, is correct,” he writes, asserting the same about the present recording. But “Musique?,” devoted to works composed between 1960 and 2018, does make a statement: Esfa- hani—an Iranian-born, American-raised evangelist for an archaic keyboard closely linked with centuries-old European music—elevates composers who deviate from convention. In acoustic works by Toru Takemitsu, Henry Cowell, and Gavin Bryars, he demonstrates the deft touch and technical bravura familiar from his celebrated Baroque interpretations. But, in electro- acoustic pieces by Kaija Saariaho, Anahita Abbasi,and Luc Ferrari, Esfahani’s exuberant lines, rapier-sharp thrusts, and bombastic explosions abandon courtly decorum, revealing an instrument strange and new.—Steve Smith THE NEW YORKER, JULY 20, 2020 5 ART ONLINE When the Austrian painter Maria Lassnig was forty-nine, she was living in Paris, successful enough but feeling stifled by her mansplaining peers. It was 1968, and the art world’s epicenter had long since shifted from Europe to the U.S.—“the country of strong women,” in Lassnig’s words. For the next twelve years, she lived in New York City, thriving in obscurity. It’s not that the artist had renounced her career but, rather, that American dealers had little interest in the daring approach to figuration she called “body awareness,” which relied on senses other than sight. Major acclaim came late to Lassnig, as it too often does for women artists of her generation; she died shortly after the opening of her first U.S. museum retrospective, in 2014, at the age of ninety-four, and her reputation has only grown since. The Petzel gallery's charming online-only presentation “Maria Lassnig: Ode to New York” (at petzel.com) feels less like an exhibition and mote like a scrapbook, a peck into the artist’s private reveries (a detail of a breezy watercolor, from 1979, is pictured here) in a city in which anonymity can be freedom.—Andrea K. Scott help superfluous. The album’s velvety hue and deliberate tempos accentuate its nostalgic feel, with insistent rhythm-guitar flurries and tangy strings that seem to come straight from the Chic fake book. But this isn't simply a mood record; it’s also a pop record—one so packed with hooks that it can bury its best song, “Read My Lips?” deep in the track list.—Michaelangelo Matos ART “The Book of Ruth” “Your people shall be my people, and your God my God” are the most famous words spoken by Ruth in the Old Testament. They announce her bond with her mother-in-law Naomi, before the two widows set out from Moab to Naomi’s native Israel. The Book of Ruth’s themes—of immigration and the welcoming of foreigners, and of women’s autonomy—were becoming urgently relevant in 2015, when the New York= based artist Barbara Wolff embarked on a two- 6 THE NEW YORKER, JULY 20, 2020 year-long project to create the nine-inch-tall, eighteen-foot-long illuminated manuscript at the center of this exhibition, now online at the Morgan Library & Museum's Web site. (The piece was donated to the museum by the patron Joanna S. Rose in 2018.) Wolf's illumination, at once epic and intimate, is contextualized in the show by Christian versions of the text from the Morgan's collection, dating from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, which make Wolff's homages (and pointed departures) clear. A short film offers a view of the artist’s use of gilding techniques and narrative illustration, inter- weaving her commentary with that of Biblical scholars and Near East archeologists to lend the ancient story fresh dimensions.—Johanna Fateman (themorgan.org) Dorothea Lange Lange began her influential thirty-year career as a photographer and social crusader doing field work with her husband, the economist Paul ‘Taylor, producing reports that the government handed out to promote the New Deal—imag- ine the Trump Administration hiring artists to expose the plight of the working poor. Lan- guage, including the handwritten notes that accompanied her pictures, was central to Lange's project. The exhibition “Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures,” intelligently curated by Sarah Hermanson Meister at MOMA, gives equal respect to Lange’s photographic prints (ninety-six) and her publications (seven, in handsome shadow boxes and vitrines). (Al- though the museum is temporarily closed, a selection of images and fifteen audio guides are available on MOMA's Web site.) Lange's best-known images are of indelible faces in hardscrabble places; an entire wall of the show is devoted to Florence Owens Thompson, the subject of Lange’s famous “Migrant Mother)” taken in 1936, But Lange also had a humane eye for text, such as the hand-painted sign she encountered at a California gas station in 1938: “This is your country don't let the big men take it away from you.’—Andrea K. Scott (moma.org) NYC Public Art Map and Guide ‘The New York City Parks Department bills itself as “the greatest outdoor public art museum in the United States.” Since open-air activities remain the safest choice during the pandemic, this summer might be a good time to explore some of the hundreds of art works scattered throughout the five boroughs—all noted on the NYC Public Art Map and Guide—from the beloved “Alice in Wonderland’ statue, in Central Park, to murals and abstract sculptures. In 2018, a lunar landscape arrived in Long Island City: Nobuho Nagasava’s “Luminesce,” in which seven concrete domes represent the phases of the moon and double as seating on the peninsula lawn of Hunter's Point South Park, offering a stunning view of Manhattan from across the East River. Alison Saar’s Harriet Tubman Memorial, which was dedicated in 2007, occupies a less picturesque location, at the intersection of St. Nicholas Ave- nue and Frederick Douglass Boulevard, in Har- Jem. The thirteen-foot-tall bronze-and-granite statue is the city’s first public monument to a Black woman. This summer, its location feels especially apt: the N.Y.P.D’s Twenty-eighth Precinct station looms behind Tubman, who is seen striding forward, as if leading the way for fature public art works inspired by this moment of monumental reckoning.—[.F. (nyegovparks.org) Alexis Rockman ‘The coronavirus pandemic, the American President, citizens brutalized by the police— there's no shortage of reasons to worry these days, But climate change continues to pose the most catastrophic threat to the world. Since the mid-nineteen-eighties, Rockman, a New York-based painter, has been sounding alarms through his virtuosically realist pictures, in which natural histories of the past confront dystopian futures. (Imagine a collaboration be- tween Martin Johnson Heade, Jeff VanderMeer, and Greta Thunberg.) In “Lost at Sea,” a virtual exhibition of the artist’s ambitious paintings on ‘wood and his more intimate works on paper, on view at the Sperone Westwater gallery's Web site, speculative fictions and cautionary facts can seem interchangeable. An alligator’s-eye view of a water-borne blaze details the ex- plosion of the S.S. Sultana steamboat on the Mississippi River, in 1865, which still ranks as the worst maritime disaster in U.S. history. ‘Whether he's limning a tentacle from ink and © MARIA LASSNIG FOUNDATION / COURTESY PETZEL For certain adults with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer that has spread OPDIVO. + yERVOY * (nivolumab) (ECON MTEL SE De 15" + ONLY > fe (ipilimumab) Injection or itravenous use § maf.
