No. 4," a collection of essays on craft, is a sunny tribute to the gloomy side of the writing life: the insecurity, dread, shame, envy, magical thinking, pointless rituals, financial instability, self-hatred — the whole "masochistic self-inflicted paralysis of a writer's normal routine.

Zhang Huan, who had also created a number of body-numbing, masochistic pieces, such as "13 Square Meters" (21) (not included in the show), was able to wiggle out of incarceration by proving he was still an art student, barely excusing his behavior to the authorities.

And in a series of events that I have personally seen play out too many times in real life, too — one in which privileged people lean into being dragged like a masochistic sport — Dunham emailed Glover afterward to say that she hoped that he didn't feel his part on Girls had "tokenized" him.

Mr. Goerne interwove the Eisler selections with 19th-century songs that traced a lineage going back to the broody Romanticism of Schumann's "The Hermit" and "Loneliness" and the chromatic prickliness of Hugo Wolf's settings of some of the "Harper's Songs" from Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship," with their almost masochistic self pity. Bleak?

For one, it's cathartic to see someone fulfill my personal ambition of actually being good at putt putt, a childhood dream that was continually crushed by many masochistic rounds at Captain Mike's Fun Park in Bridgman, MI. I also appreciate that this kid is getting creative with some simple elements, messing around and making something cool in what appears to be his backyard.

On Mac and PC, the invite-only beta of GeForce Now has proven to be pretty impressive at streaming games over the internet, at least if you've got an excellent Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection and live relatively near a server — I've been beating bosses in the downright masochistic Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice using GeForce Now, syncing progress to Steam as I go.

But after years of being taken advantage of, like stylists coming in and returning $10k dresses that were ripped or not dry cleaned or just not returning them at all — and at the time, maybe not having it in my contract that I wasn't responsible for lost or stolen clothes, so then you work for five months for free to pay the designer back — it basically becomes a masochistic exercise in how to destroy yourself.

If you prep for the holiday season by accepting yourself for who you are -- perhaps someone who does not enjoy colleague karaoke; who welcomes the extra five pounds that Santa typically delivers (via nog and cookies); or who is more inclined to take a vacation in January than to start a masochistic diet, exercise or personal improvement regimen -- then you can slide on into the New Year feeling good about where you are, instead of dreading how far you have to go.

Among them are Judy, née Frank (after Judy Garland, née Frances Gumm), a "sloppy, fat," masochistic trans woman who turns tricks and dreams of "feminine success, which she would have defined as lustful attention"; Judy's regular "date," a sadistic, cynical retired policeman fond of spanking, spewing insults and telling war stories; a flinty barkeep who dispenses mind-altering substances that stoke, inflame and sustain her needy patrons; and a participant-narrator who offers play-by-play commentary and discursive observations on the drama — so much drama!
