  1. Kinda cranky pizza guy

    Burt Katz drove home. It was the middle of the day. He worked downtown but lived in Skokie. His wife, Sharon, watched him come through the door. She was throwing a birthday party for their son, who was 5. "What are you doing home?" she asked.

  2. 'Where the Wild Things Are' author Maurice Sendak dies at 83

    Maurice Sendak didn’t think of himself as a children’s author, but as an author who told the truth about childhood.

  4. It's not about the baseball

    To understand the relationship between Herman Melville's 19th century novel and this 21st century blockbuster, perhaps a cliché would be useful: "The Art of Fielding" is as much about baseball as "Moby-Dick" is about whaling.

  5. 'Elams' an entertaining bit of sibling revelry; adapting 'Moby Dick'

    <strong>"Dinner with the Elams"</strong> <strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong>
    "Dinner with the Elams" There are family music acts and family circus acts, but the family improv act is a rarity. "Dinner with the Elams" at iO Theater in Wrigleyville seeks to rectify that, and it's a helluva idea. Three Elam siblings (Erica, Brett...

  6. Civil War's 'Stone Fleet' Sailed From New London To Dubious End In South Carolina

    In November 1861, New London residents watched with curiosity as teams of oxen hauled wagons loaded with fieldstones through their streets.

  7. An invisible man, live on stage

    Can you do a play about an invisible man? About an African-American whom others simply refuse to see? <a class="runtimeTopic" href="#">Ralph Ellison</a>, it seems fair to surmise, thought probably not. Not well, anyway. Not something that would do justice to the moment, shortly after the end of World War II, when a mostly impecunious writer, an African-American visitor to Vermont, wrote five words on a piece of paper &mdash; "I am an invisible man" &mdash; without knowing why or where it might lead him.

  8. Letter: Libraries Are Here To Stay

    I'm taking the bait even though the rational side of me urges otherwise! In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess to being an enthusiastic fan of Starbucks who has, at various points, been a (very minor) shareholder. Over the years some friends have even suggested I change my middle name to &ldquo;Starbuck&rdquo; &mdash; and not because of my affection for Herman Melville. I am also a librarian and the mother of two young children.

  9. From politics to poetry

    It's tempting, looking at the fall's books, to think of this as a political season. Dick Cheney got it started with "In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir," and Joe McGinnis pitched in with "The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin." (That caused a minor tempest last year when the author moved in next door to his subject, infuriating the former Alaska governor.)

  10. Fall book preview

    It's tempting, looking at the fall's books, to think of this as a political season. Dick Cheney got it started with "In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir," and in November we'll see a different (and perhaps conflicting?) take when Condoleezza Rice publishes "No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington." John Paul Stevens reflects on his 35 years on the Supreme Court in "Five Chiefs: A Supreme Court Memoir"; Michele Bachmann weighs in with an as yet untitled book about her life.

  11. How 'Moby-Dick' helped Matt Kish reignite his passion for illustration

    A couple of years ago, about the time Matt Kish turned 40, he decided his hobby was becoming laborious and unrewarding. By day he drove from his home in Columbus, Ohio, to Dayton, where he worked in a library, his title, "audio-video materials selection specialist," as exhausting as his commute. But by night he painted and drew &mdash; so much so that, though Kish had never taken art classes, trained as an illustrator, found gallery representation or sold a single piece of art, he considered himself something of a frustrated artist.
