  1. In the Pipeline: A show of heart from Little League

    The playoffs are upon us. I'm not referring to the NBA or the NHL, though there are some terrific series taking place in those leagues. I'm talking about Little League baseball here in Huntington Beach, where, as the Jeff Pratto-led Ocean View team showed us a couple of seasons ago, it is never too early to start dreaming about the World Series in Williamsport.

  7. Leslie Zemeckis sashays into the history of burlesque

    During the shabby final days of the last of the burlesque houses that once dotted State Street near Congress Parkway, three of us &mdash; in possession of a few bucks and self-confidence fueled by fake IDs &mdash; entered the Follies Theater and saw a show that featured, among long-forgotten performers, a dancer named April Showers.

  9. The Biblioracle defines the author-reader contract

    I'm told there was a time when the primary job of writers was to squirrel themselves away and write books. The writer would emerge from his or her cave just long enough to convey the manuscript to the publishing world before re-descending to the depths to start the next one. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

  10. Five books: local crime authors appearing at Lit Fest

    In &ldquo;The Devil's Dictionary,&rdquo; Ambrose Bierce wrote, &ldquo;There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy, but it makes no great difference to the person slain whether he fell by one kind or another &mdash; the classification is for the advantage of the lawyers.&rdquo; And perhaps mystery writers, too. Crime fiction fans will get their fix at this year's Printers Row Lit Fest with no fewer than a half-dozen panels on suspense novels. In this week's roundup, we highlight books by five Chicago authors who will appear. For details and tickets, visit <a href="http://www.printersrowlitfest.org">printersrowlitfest.org</a>.&nbsp;

  11. Michael Robbins on reviewing

    No one dreams of being a book reviewer when he grows up. You might dream of writing poems or novels or essays or even, if you are perennially picked last for teams in gym class, literary criticism (&ldquo;We don't want Robbins, you can have an extra player&rdquo;; &ldquo;We don't want him, either!&rdquo;). These forms have their glamour, even if only the novelist is much prized by the united malls of America. But as Samuel Johnson almost said, &ldquo;No man but a blockhead ever wrote book reviews, except for money.&rdquo; I have had the rare fortune to see my poetic aspirations realized and then some (though fame is a fickle food), but poetry don't pay the rent. Not that anyone's getting rich from writing about how unputdownable a thriller is.
