  1. J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Fall of Arthur' and the path to Middle-Earth

    The books go ever on and on. Forty years after his death at 81, works by J.R.R. Tolkien continue to appear.

  2. August Wilson's words came straight from his soul

    Stage and film legend James Earl Jones once said, "It's hard for an actor to go wrong if he's true to the words that August has written."
    Stage and film legend James Earl Jones once said, "It's hard for an actor to go wrong if he's true to the words that August has written." As an actor and writer, I have found that statement to be true of only a few playwrights. There is usually at least...

  4. Salman Rushdie bequeaths 'Midnight's Children' to film

    In the late 1970s, long before he penned "The Satanic Verses," before he sparked a global uproar between Islamic fundamentalists and free-speech advocates and became a marked man, before he turned into a celebrity man of letters who dates models and starlets, Salman Rushdie was just the failed author of a sci-fi fantasy.

  10. Vivid portraits in William Stout's 'Legends of the Blues'

    In 1980, R. Crumb produced a set of 36 trading cards called <a href="http://www.abramsbooks.com/Books/R_Crumb_s_Heroes_of_Blues,_Jazz_and_Country-9780810930865.html">&ldquo;Heroes of the Blues.&rdquo;</a> It&rsquo;s a great little set, backing Crumb&rsquo;s drawings with short biographical sketches of performers such as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZayTpvm0Yho">Blind Blake</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDeo8h9Ef00">Charlie Patton</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-pShRISHnQ">Big Bill Broonzy</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhQWOVaiudc">Peetie Wheatstraw</a>. If there&rsquo;s any downside to the project, it&rsquo;s that it doesn&rsquo;t cover enough territory. Only 36 musicians? That barely scratches the surface of this most quintessential of American folk art forms.
