  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.

  2. Review: "Forty-one False Starts" by Janet Malcolm

    Janet Malcolm is not an art critic or a literary critic. She's a journalist, and I don't say that with condescension. She's a journalist the way Joan Didion is — the kind who recognizes, as she put it in the first sentence of "The Journalist and the Murderer" (1990), that "Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible." Which is to say that Malcolm is a different kind of critic. In her best books — "In the Freud Archives" (1984) and "The Silent Woman," her 1994 "afterlife" of Sylvia Plath — she is a penetrating critic of personality and situation.

  6. Coming to terms with the reality of our city

    In Theodore Dreiser's "Sister Carrie," a prosperous Chicago businessman, George Hurstwood, takes up with the young, gorgeous Carrie Meeber, chucks family and home, and runs away with Carrie to Montreal. They find their way to New York, where their tales separate and their fortunes move in radically different directions. Carrie becomes a successful stage performer and social diva. George is reduced to driving a streetcar, and ultimately, alone in a flophouse, commits suicide.

  12. Writing in the dark: Reflections on the literary art of Roger Ebert

    Film critics are to filmmakers what Chicago is to New York: a little envious, a lot insecure, secretly fearful of second-class status. Hypersensitive to slights, real or imagined. Important — but not essential. The world would perish without movies;...
