  2. The man behind the people who know the story behind 'The Shining'

    You know the Calumet Baking Powder cans in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"? You know &mdash; the <em>Calumet</em> Baking cans? Lining the pantry of the film's Overlook Hotel? No, no: The baking cans behind all the carnage! Right, <em>those</em> baking cans. What's that, you didn't notice those cans, red and white, with the familiar Indian-headdress logo, what with all the rivers of blood and the axe-wielding and the bug-eyed Shelley Duvalls?

  3. Ron Rash: Appalachian trailblazer

    Ron Rash, one of America's most-admired contemporary Southern writers, is conscious of working in a venerable literary tradition that goes back through O'Connor, Welty and Faulkner.

  4. 'Book of My Lives': Aleksander Hemon's remarkable tale

    Aleksandar Hemon landed in the United States two decades ago, January 1992. He was 27, a young Bosnian journalist from Sarajevo arriving on a one-month visa, arranged through a cultural exchange program sponsored by the State Department. Just after he arrived, war broke out in Yugoslavia. Hemon was stranded. In the years since, as he settled into this country and became an acclaimed writer &mdash; became one of Chicago's finest contemporary writers and arguably its most important literary talent since Saul Bellow &mdash; Hemon has told this immigration story many, many times.

  5. Where to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in L.A. area — no blarney

    Mistakes are the portals of discovery. At least that's what James Joyce, one of Ireland's most famous writers &mdash; and a notorious drinker &mdash; once said. The phrase rings particularly true on St. Patrick's Day, the saucy Irish holiday that is marked by an epic consumption of alcohol and plenty of corned beef and cabbage. To honor Joyce, we make the annual mistake of drinking too much and discover that we wake up feeling green. Here are some of our favorite places to make those mistakes and many others this Sunday &mdash; framed by the back of a cab, of course.

  6. Why we love all things Irish this week

    This is the time of year when I feel a bit tweedy, a bit green in the wool, a bit Irish, even though the Rodricks clan from which I descend was Portuguese (Rodrigues) and not Irish (Roderick).

  7. The mediocrity of Gass' 'Middle C'

    Here's a long awaited novel by one of the godfathers of contemporary American modernism (or "post-modernism," as some critics and scholars call the continuation of the American modernist tradition). William H. Gass, a new-fangled genius, along with John Gardner, Robert Coover, John Barth and a few others in the 1960s and '70s, flew the flag sewn in Paris in the '20s by Gertrude Stein.

  8. Wordplay and secret missions to Dublin at Strawdog

    Just as Irish novelist Flann O'Brien out-Joyced James Joyce with his mind-bending masterwork "At Swim-Two-Birds," Irish playwright Arthur Riordan takes the sort of too-true-to-be-real story that is catnip to Tom Stoppard and proceeds to fold, spindle, and verbally mutilate it into a high-spirited &mdash; if occasionally aggravating &mdash; pastiche in "Improbable Frequency," now in its local premiere with Strawdog Theatre Company.

  9. Community gathers at the Last Bookstore

    The staircase is narrow and creaky, with a bookshelf made from a 100-year-old harp case teetering on the precipice of collapse at the top of the landing. Overflowing with open books, pages wildly askew and dangling from uneven shelves, the bookcase looks as if it's escaped from a vintage cartoon.

  10. Jamaica Kincaid talks about 'See Now Then'

    On the surface of her first new novel in a decade, the vaguely autobiographical, startlingly ambitious "See Now Then," author Jamaica Kincaid seems to tell a simple story about a New England family that is falling apart. Mr. Sweet, a musician and composer, turns out to hate his wife, a writer known only as Mrs. Sweet, and their children, Persephone and Heracles. But just beneath the surface is a much larger, even cosmic meditation on the nature of time &mdash; as Mr. Sweet puts it, "the seeing of Now being Then and how Then becomes Now."

  11. Review: Encounter with postwar giants at Southwest Chamber Music festival

    Southwest Chamber Music's 2013 L.A. International New Music Festival, in progress at the Colburn School's Zipper Concert Hall, is doing its attentive bit to broaden international musical relations. We hear too little music from Mexican, Korean or even Venezuelan composers. America and Germany lost its two greatest senior composers &mdash; Elliott Carter and Hans Werner Henze &mdash; late last year, but they have been long lost on the West Coast, where they remain ignored. Thankfully in such matters, Southwest can serve as an indispensable diplomat.
