Frankly my dear

Hi!

Thanks for opening this email.

Here is today's suggested reading:

• Martha Gellhorn was a badass war correspondant and the only one of Hemingway's wives to leave the bastard.

• A longread to jusitfy my belief that When Harry Met Sally is the perfect film. 

• "Of Course Kylie Jenner Didn't Build That" and the myth of the self-made billionaire.

• Scammers getting scammed. 

Tunes to start the week with:
If you're searching for a little palate cleanser for all the "Songs of Summer" you're being blasted with right now, here are a few greatest hits in a more classical sense.

• Felix Mendelssohn's 4th Symphony, "Italian" (shoutout Cleveland Orchestra)

• A collection of Erik Satie

• Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott performing Camille Saint-Saëns' "The Swan"

• and to round it out, Benjamin Britten: Works for String Quartet
