Kurt Andersen takes on America’s ambivalence about anonymity and Elvis Costello and Anne Sophie Von Otter talk about their new musical collaboration. Kurt and novelist Rebecca Goldstein look at how artists play with light, with stories about Vermeer’s luminous paintings, the art of cinematographer John Bailey, and a profile of the fascinating early-20th-century dancer Loie Fuller, known as the Goddess of Light.
