About

Gaudy is a culture and commentary blog. We’re interested in the idea of the “gaudy,” the reunion of old ideas with new circumstances to create unexpected art. We write about television and politics, literature and music, film and criticism, education and philosophy, about Walter Benjamin, Wes Anderson, and our patron saint Dorothy L. Sayers. You never quite know what you’ll find on any given morning (Katherine Hepburn and Dr. Seuss? The DVD-player and Walter Benjamin? A love letter to Google?) We’re a younger crowd, but we welcome book lovers and witty conversationalists of all ages.

Welcome to Gaudy. It’s the new black.
