  4. Stage invades history

    J<I>UST</I> over two years ago I seemed always to be in California, taking part in the celebrations surrounding the release of the film I'd written of Michael Cunningham's novel "The Hours." While the creative team was giving interviews and being mildly feted, more than half our minds were on rather more urgent matters: The impending invasion of a sovereign territory by the world's only superpower.

  5. Jodi Picoult on 'The Storyteller'

    Don't mess with Jodi Picoult. The author of a string of best-selling popular novels with weighty themes ripped from the headlines, Picoult pulls no punches. Her latest book, out this month, is "The Storyteller," which is about a young woman who finds herself on the horns of a moral dilemma when she meets a nice old man, Josef Weber, who turns out to have been a Nazi war criminal.

  6. The book jacket 'Bell Jar'

    This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but until just recently I was under the misguided impression that a Pulitzer Prize in poetry might actually entitle a gal to a little literary respect.

  7. Munrovian women

    Whenever a new collection of stories by Alice Munro appears, which is often enough, reviewers compete to see who can gush about her most hyperbolically. She is "the living writer most likely to be read in a hundred years" (The Atlantic), "the best fiction writer now working in North America" (Jonathan Franzen in The New York Times). Her stories make you remember "why you eat, read, make love, whatever" (The Washington Post). Munro is routinely compared to Anton Chekhov, but you get the sense that if Chekhov himself came back to life and started writing again at the top of his game, the critics would sigh, "This is great, but he's no Alice Munro."

  9. Why you should read genre books

    I'm usually reading four or five books at a time. At the moment, I'm in the middle of Husain Haddawy's enchanting translation of &ldquo;The Arabian Nights&rdquo; (forget Cervantes and Sterne &mdash; this is where postmodernism begins); Jean-Luc Marion's anti-ontotheological &ldquo;God without Being&rdquo;; Guy Davenport's essays; a few books of poems I switch among; and Daniel O'Malley's &ldquo;The Rook.&rdquo;

  12. Midwestern lit: Plain-spoken

    I recently took one of those online quizzes to test your accent, and it declared, accurately, that I come from the "Central U.S." The test said my accent is essentially no accent, the one that's employed by television news anchors, who are supposed to be from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
