  1. Accepting this 'Great Gatsby' on its own terms

    To judge by some of the reviews of the new film adaptation of "The Great Gatsby," you'd think Australian director Baz Luhrmann would be facing extradition for his crime against an American classic.

  4. Review: Elegant photographic fictions at Thomas Solomon

    The strangeness and mystery of the Voynich Manuscript has inspired musicians and novelists.  Not surprisingly, the work has also proved a springboard for visual artists, but the remarkable thing about the photographs by Miljohn Ruperto and Ulrik Heltoft now at Thomas Solomon is how they don't just feed off the manuscript's secrets and complications but build upon them to generate something odd, fantastic and mysterious in its own right.

  5. Mo Hayder's 'Poppet' takes nuanced, compelling look at evil

    Since introducing Detective Inspector Jack Caffery 14 years ago in "Birdman," Mo Hayder has written some of the grisliest crime fiction in recent memory. Caffery's cases in London and, later, in Bristol's Major Crime Investigation Team, have included...

  6. Khaled Hosseini on "And the Mountains Echoed"

    Khaled Hosseini stormed the best-seller lists with his debut novel, “The Kite Runner,” in 2003, following it up with the even more popular “A Thousand Splendid Suns” in 2007. Both set in the author's native country of Afghanistan, the novels have sold more than 38 million copies internationally, including 10 million in the United States alone — a remarkable feat for a writer who began to pursue literature full time only after working for a decade as a physician. Now Hosseini, who with his family successfully sought asylum in the U.S. in 1980 following political upheaval in their homeland, is back with his beautiful, often harrowing third novel, “And the Mountains Echoed,” also set in Afghanistan (as well as several other locations around the world).

  10. HBO sees the light in Liberace biopic 'Behind the Candelabra'

    NEW YORK &mdash; When the news broke in 1987 that Liberace, the famously flamboyant pianist, was dead at age 67 with what his manager had claimed was anemia brought on by a watermelon diet but was, in fact, AIDS, it made front-page headlines around the country. It was a fitting tribute for a world-famous entertainer who just a few months earlier had played three weeks of sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall.

  11. "Tea with Edie and Fitz" by Dead Writers Theatre Collective at Greenhouse ★★½

    The legend of Zelda has formed the basis for numerous Jazz Age sojourns. Some dabble in shopworn tales of Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald's drunken wild-child antics, as Woody Allen did in "Midnight in Paris," while feminist literary critics have usually taken a more nuanced view of Scott's Southern-belle wife and muse. With Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" set to land in multiplexes, it's a safe bet that Zelda will be back in the spotlight, 65 years after she burned to death in a mental asylum in North Carolina.

  12. Review: The magic sputters in 'Midnight's Children'

    Salman Rushdie's Booker Prize-winning 1980 novel "Midnight's Children" is many things &mdash; ambitious, chaotic, fantastical, mythic &mdash; but generic it isn't. Which makes the long-awaited film version a real head-scratcher, a pretty but staidly linear epic drained of the novel's larkish, metaphorical sweep, and a collection of multi-generational love stories lacking their originally eccentric, fizzy charm.
