  1. Orbert Davis' jazz symphony looks at Chicago River's momentous reversal

    It was called the “seventh engineering wonder of the world,” a herculean effort to reverse the flow of the Chicago River.
    It was called the “seventh engineering wonder of the world,” a herculean effort to reverse the flow of the Chicago River. Typhoid fever, cholera and other waterborne diseases were running rampant in Chicago in the late 19th century, and...

  2. Loss of printed books means reading won't be the same

    Think about the monks who painstakingly copied by hand the books available before Johannes Gutenberg came up with the printing press in 1450. An era was ending and a new one that would last more than 550 years had begun. Now we are in a process of...

  3. Elie Wiesel's story endures, empowers

    NEW YORK — A slender, silver-haired gentleman steps onto a nearly bare stage, the instantaneous applause continuing long after he reaches the spare wooden table awaiting him.

  4. 'The Chronicles of Narnia': A Great Series For Kids

    I really, really cherish reading with the boys, even though they have become voracious readers on their own.  We started reading "classics" together when they were small:  "Peter Pan", "Wind in the Willows" and "Stuart Little".  In recent years, we were ethralled by the entire Harry Potter series and loved experiencing the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, huddled together on the white couch in the living room.  We laugh at silly parts and discuss complex chapters until we figure them out and talk about the characters we identify with the most.

  5. Isabel Allende, a life of letters

    Somewhere between her Chilean family's life-or-death political realities and its intuitive, fantastical imagination is where Isabel Allende writes. Where she lives is the Bay Area, arriving in California about 25 years ago with a famous surname she's gone on to burnish, novel by novel. As perhaps befits an emigre author, Allende's books are routinely translated into two dozen languages. Here she muses in English about what the future of the written word holds for authors like her, and for the readers who love them.

  6. Did that really happen? In America?

    My periodic "Did You Know" columns tend to raise the blood pressure of more conservative readers who are embarrassed/angry/frustrated by the increasingly aggressive counter-cultural policies of the hard left and their allies in Hollywood, on campus, and in Washington, D.C.

  7. Getting 'birded' in Lincoln Park

    Like at least one of them has been doing almost every morning since March, Mason Fidino and Kelvin Limbrick are standing in a flat, grassy patch north of Lincoln Park's nature museum, looking intently at sky and trees and listening like, well, hawks.

  11. Breakout puts author Gillian Flynn on the go, go, go

    A year ago this time, Gillian Flynn was just another former Entertainment Weekly TV critic turned Chicago author of murder-mysteries who lived in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood and had already sold film rights to her first two novels ("Dark Places" and "Sharp Objects"). You know? C'mon, do something with yourself, sister! Then June arrived, and so did Flynn's blockbuster novel "Gone Girl."

  12. Add David Foster Wallace to 'unlikable' pantheon

    The last time filmmaker Jason Reitman came through town we got into a conversation about unlikable characters. He knows something about unlikable characters: "My first movie was about the head lobbyist for Big Tobacco ('Thank You for Smoking'), my second was about a sarcastic pregnant teenager ('Juno') and my third was about a guy who fires people for a living ('Up in the Air')."
