  2. David Foster Wallace scrapes the stars ... and the barrel

    David Foster Wallace's posthumous career — Wallace committed suicide in 2008 at the age of 46 — has produced nearly as many books as his live one did. In 2010, David Lipsky came out with "Although of Course You End up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace." "The Pale King," Wallace's unfinished novel, appeared in 2011.

  3. How presidential candidates' stories get sold, from Nixon to now

    Los Angeles Times Book Critic
    If the last week has taught us anything, it’s the power, and limitations, of political narrative. First, there was Hurricane Sandy, which brought climate change back into the presidential race — and led to an essential photo op: President...

  4. Why you should read genre books

    I'm usually reading four or five books at a time. At the moment, I'm in the middle of Husain Haddawy's enchanting translation of “The Arabian Nights” (forget Cervantes and Sterne — this is where postmodernism begins); Jean-Luc Marion's anti-ontotheological “God without Being”; Guy Davenport's essays; a few books of poems I switch among; and Daniel O'Malley's “The Rook.”

  5. Liberal Arts

    Josh Radnor, best known for the sitcom <em>How I Met Your Mother</em>, struck out on his first film &ndash; <em>HappyThankYouMorePlease</em>. In this movie, he hits it out of the park. Perhaps some of the themes you&rsquo;ve seen before &ndash; age difference in relationships, college freshman exciting to discover classical music and authors, and older folks disgruntled with the world. Those older folks range from a guy in his 30s that&rsquo;s tired of his dead end job, a guy in his 60s retiring from a job, and a woman in her 50s that&rsquo;s an influential teacher &ndash; who couldn&rsquo;t care less about the praise that&rsquo;s heaped upon her.

  6. Midwestern lit: Plain-spoken

    I recently took one of those online quizzes to test your accent, and it declared, accurately, that I come from the "Central U.S." The test said my accent is essentially no accent, the one that's employed by television news anchors, who are supposed to be from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

  7. Trivia quiz: Salman Rushdie's not-so-hidden life

    Salman Rushdie&rsquo;s new memoir of his time in hiding, "Joseph Anton," weighs in at more than 600 pages. The British-Indian author was the target of a <em>fatwa</em> death sentence issued by Iranian clerics. A lot of people helped him survive a decade of clandestine life, from British policemen to U.S. literary activists. Seemingly all of them are listed in his new book.

  8. A version of David Foster Wallace's life

    When the great English poet Philip Larkin worked at the University of Hull, he liked to say that the need to change trains in Doncaster meant most journalists, academics and other London irritants didn't bother to harass him.

  9. D.T. Max takes on the life of David Foster Wallace

    D.T. Max knew what he was getting into when he decided to write a biography of David Foster Wallace. In March 2009, he published a long piece in the New Yorker about Wallace's suicide and the author's inability to finish "The Pale King," the novel left incomplete at the time of his death.

  10. Annoyingly talented

    <em>You know what's annoying? </em>
    You know what's annoying? Experimental short stories. You know what else is annoying? Adam Levin. He is 35 and grew up on the North Shore. He is talented and can't do anything half- way, which makes him frustratingly, endearingly bold, the twin...

  12. Clarice Lispector: Four novels form a picture of Brazil novelist

    For a handful of people, Clarice Lispector's "A Breath of Life" being published in English for the first time is very good news. Sadly, that handful is fairly small. Lispector, an extraordinarily gifted writer who revolutionized Brazilian letters, was...
