A critic's notebook on sparkle and spectacle. An Atlantic Edition, featuring long-form journalism byAtlanticwriters, drawn from contemporary articles or classic storytelling from the magazine's 165-year archive.

A collection of essays on musicians, celebrities and aesthetic movements and moments that, taken together, characterises the often used, yet widely misunderstood term diva. On Divas offers readers an original understanding of an age-old phenomenon by drawing together figures as diverse as Beyonce, Bjrk, and Donald Trump. Withkeen insight and genuine enthusiasm, Spencer Kornhaber illustrates how willfulness, pleasure, spectacular self-involvement, and the public's blend of adoration and resentment define divadom.
