  4. Book review: 'Satori' by Don Winslow

    Set during the Korean War and the onset of the Cold War, Don Winslow's "Satori," an entertaining, authorized prequel to the bestselling 1979 thriller "Shibumi" by Rodney William Whitaker (who wrote under the pen name Trevanian), is choked with every espionage and thriller cliché imaginable. The main character, Nicholai Hel (watch out — Hel's coming!), is an amalgam of superhero types found in books and pop culture: Think of a guy who's a mix of Caine from the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu," Ian Fleming's James Bond and James Fenimore Cooper's Natty Bumppo.

  5. From the Vaults: 'The Last of the Mohicans' (1920)

    The Daily Mirror
    Note: Larry's Daily Mirror posts this year focus on clips from 1920 and 1960, so I will be watching movies from those years and writing about them on alternate weeks. After last week’s post on Roger Corman’s “The Little Shop of Horrors,” Mr....

  7. High-minded lowdown

    Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
    In the long and often embarrassing history of intellectuals' attempts to grapple with pop culture, there are, at least, a few high points. One of them is the work of the late Leslie Fiedler, the garrulous and provocative critic of literature who could...

  10. The Loner

    The great novelists, Larry McMurtry believes, write their masterpieces in the prime of life. And at 66, he figures he's past his prime. The powers that inspired &quot;The Last Picture Show" and "Terms of Endearment" are in decline. By his own reckoning, the curtain fell on his great period 17 years ago, with the publication of "Lonesome Dove."

  12. Historian's next stop: Paris

    In one of his lesser known &#8212; but still exquisite &#8212; books, first published in 1992, David McCullough writes about painter Frederic Remington, an artist who captured the last glimmers of the twilight of the American West of the 19th century, a place of charging horses and bucking broncos and dusty trails. Remington was a big man, a man with passionate appetites, and he tackled his art the same way he would dive into a plate of roast beef: with galloping gusto.
