Happy 90th Birthday to the indefatigable Robert Caro — the man who reminds us that power isn’t a force of nature, but a machine you can dismantle with enough patience, pencil-shavings, and hundreds of notebooks. Here’s to the chronicler of how “what happens” really happens.

He writes longhand in pencil, wears a tie to work, and has spent nearly half a century documenting how men bend nations to their will, yet Robert Caro still insists...

Meet Fiona Nguyen, one of our brilliant interns from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago! She’s been busy reimagining the covers for D. H. Lawrence’s most daring and once-banned books — the ones that scandalized polite society for talking about the things no one dared mention. Fiona’s designs capture all that heat and tension with a modern, provocative twist — bold, beautiful, and impossible to ignore.

Which one’s your favorite?

Our site, casacarlini.com, just went viral enough to melt our poor server’s brain. The CPU shot straight into orbit, so we’re packing up and moving to a host with more horsepower and shinier toys. We’ll be back soon (hopefully by tomorrow morning)—faster, sleeker, and ready for the crowd. As far as problems go, this one’s champagne-worthy.

We’ve just rolled out a lively new series of reimagined editions of P. G. Wodehouse’s beloved Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels—each sporting a striking, playful cover design by Ashley Husain of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We’ve been lucky to have several interns from that remarkable school on our team lately, and they’ve been turning out some truly stellar work. I don’t know what they’re feeding those kids over there, but whatever it is, it’s producing some serious talent. And if you’ve never read Wodehouse—rhymes with good house—and could use a bit of levity in your day, he’s your man. No one has ever made the English language dance quite like he did: light on its feet, mischievous, and endlessly charming. https://casacarlini.com/p-g-wodehouse-the-serious-business-of-being-frivolous/

P. G. Wodehouse turned nonsense into an art form. His world of bumbling aristocrats and impossible scrapes reminds us that being frivolous can, in fact, be a serious business.

He lived as if the world were a divine joke told in perfect English syntax, and he, somehow, the only man who got it. In the well-upholstered absurdity of P....

What if Marilyn Monroe could tell her own story?
Aubrey Malone’s The Marilyn Diaries gives her that chance — raw, intimate, unforgettable.

When we imagine Marilyn Monroe, it is often through the lens of the camera: the white dress billowing over the subway grate, the platinum curls, the perfect pout. But what...
