  7. Review: "Every Boy Should Have a Man" by Preston Allen

    Genre mash-ups are de rigueur these days. Of course, writers like Margaret Atwood have been tight-roping the misty border between literary fiction and speculative fiction, fantasy and mystery for years. But a new outcropping of younger upstarts, such as Michael Chabon, Charles Yu and Jonathan Letham, have been contorting the lines in new and unexpected directions. Genre fiction, it would seem, is no longer relegated to the back of the bookstore or the dominion of the geek. Examining the borderlands between what is traditionally deemed "literary" and what is "genre," inverting, twisting, defying and fusing traditional genre tropes with meta-modernist craft, is all part of this new genre renaissance.

  8. 'Yes Is the Answer' asks the question: Who's afraid of prog rock?

    "Yes Is the Answer" is a collection of 20 essays related to progressive rock and its somewhat less regularly derided cousin art rock. Fifteen of the writers care about the subject, or used to. The other five came along to kibitz &mdash; a chess term for the chatter of bystanders who provide unwanted commentary while the players sit and rack their brains. As with chess, progressive rock is commonly assumed by outsiders to be a sexless, all-male realm of wasted intellect. Many of the essayists in "Yes Is the Answer" operate under this belief. If you're a prog fan, opening the book can be like stumbling into Monty Python's Department of Abuse.

  11. Pasadena literary cachet inspires a book of its own

    The literary bona fides of Pasadena have never been much in doubt. It's a small, sophisticated town with a hunger for words and the people who write them, from the old adventure novels of Zane Gray to the modern hard-boiled fiction of Denise Hamilton. Now, in celebration of that lineage, comes "Literary Pasadena: The Fiction Edition."
