15 year-end "best books of 2015" lists were added to the Largehearted Boy master aggregation yesterday (bringing the total number of lists represented to 218), including Kirkus's best fiction lists and Fortune's books that changed CEO's minds.
Tin House interviewed author Elizabeth Tallent.
Rough Trade listed its albums of the year.
Literary Hub interviewed author Lauren Groff.
PopMatters profiled Empress Of's Lorely Rodriguez.
Coming from the artist whose colourful, experimental stylings seized the interest of a large online fanbase from the very beginning, it would be easy to consider Rodriguez as another of what might be referred to as the neo-Dadaist school of pop artists, characterized by an approach to pop music that’s heavy on experimental and artistic concept work. But Rodriguez resists characterizing her pop music in that way. Although her music conveys an experimental and musical complexity, her aim, she says, is not to create layers of complex meaning but rather to strip her pop songs down to a more honest core.
