What may surprise here is a sprawling Patagonia store, one of only six outlets for the clothing company.

Affinities by Brian Dillon review – in the eye of the beholder | Essays

The chemical doctrine of affinity emerged as a way to explain these reactions. In his 1809 novel Elective Affinities, Johann Wolfgang Goethe applied the idea to human relationships.
