  2. Walter Mosley, L.A.'s easy writer

    You can take Walter Mosley out of Los Angeles — in fact, Mosley did so himself, moving to New York decades ago — but you can't take L.A. out of Walter Mosley. The master of several genres keeps the city present, from his Easy Rawlins detective novels set in black postwar Los Angeles to the Greek-myths-in-South-Central elements in one of the two novellas in his latest volume. Mosley appeared to wrap it up with Rawlins in "Blonde Faith" in 2007, but five years later, he's found more for his most famous detective to do, just as Mosley has for himself. He has a fledgling production company, B.O.B. (for "Best of Brooklyn") Filmhouse, and still writes with one foot in 212 and another here in 213.

  3. Review: Luigi's Flying Tires fail to live up to levitating legacy

    I always wished I could have ridden the Flying Saucers at Disneyland.
    I always wished I could have ridden the Flying Saucers at Disneyland. Opened in 1961, the space-age bumper cars hovered like pucks on an enormous air hockey rink, a strange combination of retro and futuristic, like a scene from a Jules Verne novel. I...

  5. The Review: Hungry Cat Santa Monica Canyon

    Beneath an old diving helmet straight out of Jules Verne, a couple seated at a corner of the raw bar feed each other oysters, clams, bites of lobster. They eat slowly, luxuriously, between sips of wine. He whispers in her ear. She laughs and pops a shrimp in her mouth. Behind the bar, a cook deftly shucks oysters, tucks a little more ice around a lipstick-red lobster and slides a plate of peel 'n' eat shrimp over to a guy at the other end of the bar.

  7. The Google doodle: A highly creative home page homage

    Photographer Robert Doisneau is known for Parisian street scenes that reflected his fascination with what he called "the marvels of daily life." Four of his images &mdash; including his famous (if posed) 1950 picture of a kissing couple &mdash; graced last weekend's Google doodle, the variation on its home-page logo with which the company celebrates special dates, people and events.

  8. Reading, no batteries required

    Tenderly, the lover caressed his beloved. So pale, so smooth. He tilted his head forward, the better to inhale that scent &mdash; rich and enticing. Fingertip to spine, feeling every contour, he pressed his face closer &mdash; and turned a page.
