When author Patricia Lockwood contracted COVID-19 in March 2020, one effect was that, during her illness-induced delirium, she found herself no longer able to read. This disorienting experience inspired Lockwood’s London Review of Books article “Insane after coronavirus?” as well as her most recent novel, Will There Ever Be Another You. The ordeal was also featured prominently during Lockwood’s Sept. 13 talk at Buffalo Street Books, which took place as part of the Ithaca is Books Festival.

Following the release of The Odyssey (2026), I expected the majority of online discussion to surround the movie’s revolutionary filming technique (being the first movie ever shot entirely on IMAX). Instead, Instagram and X seemed to focus on an entirely different aspect of the film: the apparent lack of wrinkles.

If you’re anything like me, you celebrate the Halloween season throughout the year by watching scary movies regardless of what month it is. However, if you are someone who only ventures into the realm of horror when the calendar reaches October, now is the time to start warming up. This list contains a diverse selection of underseen and/or underappreciated horror films that deserve your attention, arranged by release date. Let the spooky season commence.

“Old Money” made its appearance on the scene of Instagram fashion a few years ago. Dress classy, avoid logos, “shop these brands, not those brands.” It became a cultural obsession.

Subjective writers from The Sun gathered for a roundtable discussion to examine student protest culture on campus. Our writers considered how attitudes towards protests have changed, discourse vs. disruption, and the University administration’s impact on our protest behavior. The Sun Roundtable series is a recurring discussion that invites writers from Opinion, Arts & Culture, and Lifestyle to deliberate on contemporary and contentious issues affecting Cornellians.

Kurt Vonnegut ’44, author of such novels as Cat’s Cradle (1963), Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) and Breakfast of Champions (1973), studied chemistry at Cornell and served as associate editor of The Cornell Daily Sun. He never graduated, having been drafted to serve in World War II (more on that later), but nevertheless remains a revered Cornellian and Sun legend. In the Sun office downtown on 139 W State St., above the fireplace hangs one of his quotes: “The Cornell Sun, thank goodness, showed me what to do with my life, and I did it.”

Elwyn Brooks White was the dog lover to outdo all dog lovers; when his childhood dog, Daisy, died after being hit by a taxi, he asked The New Yorker to run an obituary for her, and in it he wrote, “She died sniffing life, and enjoying it.” Beyond his love for animals, he was, like me, a horrid procrastinator when it came to writing; he admitted he would often walk around his house searching for things to clean to avoid sitting down and writing (proof that procrastination has always been a trait definitive of writers). I would argue that he was the best writer to exist because he preferred himself and his words above all else, a fact that is especially evident in his social avoidance. Whenever an unexpected visitor showed up to his door to talk with him, White would attempt to escape his office through the fire escape. His tendencies to procrastinate and flee are perhaps indicative of just how human, how normal he was, despite the attempts from the media to sensationalize him.

In the fading wake of Christopher Nolan’s star-studded IMAX giant of an odyssey, debut author Seamus Sullivan has stirred the surface of Greek mythological canon with little more than 150 pages. Sullivan’s reframing of the myths of Daedalus is by no measure the storm of Nolan’s film; but, refreshingly, neither is it a retelling. Instead, Sullivan ventures into the hazier corridors of speculation, exploring the conflict that could create the heroes we know and the struggle that might follow triumph or tragedy. Daedalus is Dead is a haunting specter of the myth we expect to see; a haunting recollection of a past that doesn’t die.

This past weekend the Ithaca Is Books Festival brought literary whimsy to Ithaca through bookstore events, author readings and a book fair in the Ithaca Commons. The festival has been taking place annually since 2021, but the book fair itself was added in 2024. The fair featured 24 booths and ran from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. It even included an author signing tent where you could meet participating authors.

When I moved into my first apartment at the beginning of the semester, I was so excited about the prospect of living in Collegetown with my best friends and, for the first time, having a place entirely to ourselves. After living on campus for two years, moving just a few blocks away has felt surprisingly different. There’s a greater sense of independence, and the atmosphere of Collegetown makes life more lively, spontaneous and fun.

With each passing roll call of Congress, more bills are proposed and voted on that appear to be “litmus tests” on Israel. On Sept. 3, Representative Josh Riley (D-N.Y.) voted in favor of one such piece of legislation: the misleadingly named “Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act,” which requires universities that receive federal funding to certify that they “will not engage in a nonexpressive commercial boycott of a major strategic partner of the United States.”

Going to school at an Ivy is as chaotic as it is aesthetic. There are rough prelim-heavy weeks, midnight breakdowns and caffeine-induced headaches that make every second of the school year seem painful. These moments make the journey feel unbearable and raise a larger question: Why suffer through these hardships when there are much easier paths?

“Was sentence of death ever pronounced except at midnight, by the light of torches, in a dark, gloomy hall, and on a cold, stormy winter's night? Why, in the month of August, at eight o'clock of such a lovely morning and with such kind-hearted jurors, it’s impossible!” These are the thoughts of Victor Hugo’s capital defendant in The Last Day of a Condemned Man, as he sits awaiting his sentencing, which will return to him a verdict of death.

What do time travel, a fairy godmother, a cat in a cradle and an imaginary dragon all have in common? If you’ve read the title of this article, you already know the answer. Each belongs to an iconic song written or performed by a former Cornellian — proof that Cornell’s influence reverberates far beyond grade deflation, frostbitten treks to class during never-ending winters and the annual herds of soon-to-be shell-shocked freshman swarming Collegetown during Orientation Week. That’s right; for all the CEOs, scientists and financiers Cornell has churned out since 1865, it also spawned an impressive collection of musical artists.
