1 week ago Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle review – what exactly is ‘clairgustance’?

A chef can taste the favourite foods of the departed, in this debut mash-up of satire, ghost story and slushy romanceReading Aftertaste, I found myself wondering how readers visualised novels before the age of cinema. Now we all have a set of preformed mental images of things we might never have seen – or won’t ever see – in real life, from plane crashes to zombie apocalypses. Sometimes, a novel comes along with a climactic scene that’s so exact a fit for a particular movie’s aesthetic (Ghostbusters, in this case: we’re talking angry spooks! SFX! Manhattan!) that it’s practically an extension of the franchise. Daria Lavelle’s debut is an amalgamation of hypermodern satire, slushy romance and savvy cultural allusion that is as vigorously brought together as its lead character’s recipes.Konstantin “Kostya” Duhovny has been plagued since childhood with a strange affliction.

1 week ago The Rehearsal season two review – TV so wild you will have no idea how they made it

Comedian Nathan Fielder’s utterly chaotic docuseries will have you watching with fingers over eyes. It’s a uniquely awkward, occasionally overwhelming show – whose finale has to be seen to be believedSeason two of the Rehearsal opens in a cockpit, where the atmosphere is almost unbearably strained. With the plane apparently on a collision course (“we have those hills to the right of the airport, remember?!”), the co-pilot begins to panic, but the captain haughtily dismisses his colleague’s concerns. Sure enough, the plane begins to plummet, before crashing into a fiery wreck. We zoom out to reveal a set, where Nathan Fielder stares and blinks into the camera gormlessly, having conducted this horrifying performance – one of many reconstructions of real-life disasters to come.This is, of course, the comedian’s totally wild docuseries, in which he prepares people for big life events via elaborate (and occasionally unethical) walk-throughs. The first season culminated in Fielder possibl...
