I love that moment where something will swerve off. Where we thought we understood what the person was saying but we didn't. Even if we heard the words we expected, actually something else happened.1
The question of the connection between queer form and queer relations is at the heart of Ali Smith's short story 'Fidelio and Bess' in The First Person and Other [End Page 23] Stories (2008). An unnamed narrator, who is involved in an affair, appears to be delivering a blow-by-blow retelling of the plot of Beethoven's opera Fidelio to their lover, but then in a spontaneous recitative swerves into an account of Porgy and Bess as the cast of Fidelio break into the song 'Summertime'. The plot spins out of control as the two narratives work on each other and merge. The narrator's voice retreats, and a stage becomes visible. A concrete version of an imagined textual collision appears, confusing the actors, the conductor, and the orchestra.
The anonymous (ungendered and unnamed) narrator identifies with and re-reads the opera Fidelio from the position of a minor character, Marzelline, who is in love with Fidelio. Her desires are thwarted as 'he' is revealed to be a woman, Leonore, who has disguised herself as a ma

Farhad Moshiri’s Simple Things
“If you paint an intelligent subject, does it automatically make it an intelligent painting?” Iranian artist Farhad Moshiri asked at the opening of his current show at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris [through July 28]. The exhibition, “Fire of Joy,” aims to question normative values, placing focus instead on happiness. Moshiri contrasts “worthy,” provocative, or referential topics—like Einstein, God, the female figure—with lighter references. Moshiri also combines popular American references with traditional Iranian craft. “A painting isn’t any better because it represents a political scene rather than everyday life,” says the artist. “And happiness too can be a very simple matter—a woman going to the hairdresser, two people chatting. It is about paring down to the bare essentials.”
Sprawling over two floors, the top presents a seemingly random mix of subjects, primarily depicted with miniscule embroided beads on canvas—a fan (Fan; all works, 2012), a glass (Glass), and two women’s hairdos inspired by 1950s advertising (Curl). Each is imbued with a sense of timeless preciousness and painstaking precision. The play of Western referenc
