  1. 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.

  4. LETTER: Time Will Come For Mockers Of Elderly

    Regarding "Elderly Not 'Liked' On Facebook" [May 28, Connecticut]: When I first read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" it seemed so far-fetched. Seashells whispering in your ear? And now there's Bluetooth. A whole wall of television? We are there as well....

  9. Lessons from a literary master

    He was the J.K. Rowling of his day, writing sprightly, adventure-driven, insanely popular books ostensibly aimed at kids but which sober and responsible adults &mdash; if backed against a wall with the cold tip of a pirate's cutlass jammed against their throats &mdash; would admit to enjoying, too, as much if not more so than the urchins.
