  3. '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.

  9. Our Laguna: Music scoring big with Laguna Beach Live!

    Music has always been a part of Laguna's art culture, but it has a hit-or-miss history. Lyric Opera Co. was founded here, leading to the formation of Opera Pacific, which moved out of town. The Laguna Chamber Music Society presented concerts at the Artists Theatre until it moved to the Barkley while the high school was being renovated and never came back. The Pacific Symphony played chamber music concerts in the theater until school officials no longer would clear the calendar for them.
