The title is that of the cover essay in
the Sunday, August 6, 2017, issue
of The New York Times Book Review .
From a poem on page 17 —
"Avoidance of boredom drives the body forward."
By the same poet, Mary Jo Bang —
"A circular mirror of the social order is something
like a master with an exclusive club membership
until a woman comes through the revolving door."
These remarks, and the life of Matthew Vaughn, director of
"X-Men: First Class" and other films (cf. this morning's post
Dichotomy), suggest a review of the Nobel Flashback post
of October 6, 2016. A retitled sample —
Avoidance of Boredom
