  6. '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.

  10. On the 'L,' e-books change spy game

    Strange as it sounds, reading a book while sitting on public transportation may be what I like best about living in a big city.
