Couple of interesting things I saw on the internets this weekend: nice (altho somewhat superficial) article on the origins of the flapper. Some stuff I knew plus a few things I'd never heard before. Not super in depth but a good start point if one is interested.
At the other end of the spectrum, a superlong and detailed piece from today's NYTimes on Jung and the Red Book. I think my fave part was the translator (noting that he's spent the last 10 years working on the book and only just beginning to feel like he's got any handle on it) wondering what all the people participating in all the conferences scheduled for just a few months after publication of the Red Book could possibly have to say. Also the quote from Jung about how he was glad that he was Jung and not a Jungian.
