ART — Martin Wilner by Francis Levy
Martin Wilner is an artist and psychiatrist. For his ongoing Case Histories—a series of portraits each completed over the course of a month—subjects send him daily dispatches that are woven into the drawings. Novelist Francis Levy calls the process "a mini analysis of sorts."

LITERATURE — Pierre Guyotat by Noura Wedell
