*** How The Elevator Transformed America ***
<http://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2014/03/02/how-elevator-transformed-america/b8u17Vx897wUQ8zWMTSvYO/story.html>
Leon Neyfakh, The Boston Globe


> An associate professor of history at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and a board member of the Elevator Museum in Queens, Wilk would like everyone to be more conscious of the elevators in their lives. But he is particularly disappointed with his fellow academics—people who are supposed to be studying how the world works—for failing to consider just how much elevators matter.




*** ‘Kinder Than Solitude’ By Yiyun Li ***

John Freeman, The Boston Globe


> One of the four characters who animate “Kinder than Solitude,” the quietly heartbreaking new novel by Yiyun Li, works at a pharmaceutical company in Massachusetts. It’s not hard to imagine the place: a bland office park, probably tucked off Route 2. The sort of building one does not notice unless traffic has stopped.

> All day long Moran, as Li’s character is called, sits alone in a room quality testing health and hygiene products. Many people would be bored by such work. Moran, however, is grateful. “Though her life lacked the poignancy of great happiness and acute pain, she believed she had found, in their places, the blessing of solitude.”
