  2. Choosing books for the holidays

    Inevitably this holiday season, my mom will tick through her shopping list and say with a sigh, "Your dad wants a book." Since I was a kid, my mom has teased my dad about the predictablity of this ritual, which usually involves the purchase of a brick-sized tome of history. I love shopping for my dad. I don't buy what he asks for; I go with books I suspect he'll like. Bill Buford's "Heat," a memoir about Italian cooking, was an unexpected hit. The next year, I bought him a cookbook.

  4. Holiday Guide 2012: Chris Jones' Top 10 shows for the season

    Chicago has a plethora of holiday shows each and every year — and I’ll be reviewing enough of them over the next couple of weeks to put Rudolph in rehab. But based on many years of seasonal theater-going, here are 10 of our potential favorites for 2012. We’re restricting our choices to specifically seasonal fare — so no “Book of Mormon” or “War Horse.” And certainly no “50 Shades! The Musical.” It’s Christmas time.

  7. The white advocate for the Harlem Renaissance

    For more that two decades, author Emily Bernard has been fascinated by Carl Van Vechten, a white man who played a seminal &mdash; and controversial &mdash; role in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s.

  8. A Raisin in the Sun Playing at Westport Country Playhouse

    <em>A Raisin in the Sun</em> tells the story of a family's struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world on Chicago's South Side in the 1950s. It's based on playwright Lorraine Hansberry's own battles against racial segregation, it's name taken from the poem Harlem by Langston Hughes in which he asks the question: "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" The show opens Tuesday at Westport Country Playhouse, directed by Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad, best known for her role as Clair Huxtable on "The Cosby Show" &mdash; but she won her Tony thanks to her leading role in a Broadway revival of, you guessed it, <em>A Raisin in the Sun</em>. <strong></strong>

  9. Nikki Giovanni's passion for poetry and life is undimmed

    Celebrated poet and author Nikki Giovanni helps to expand and enrich young minds in Blacksburg, where she's a professor of English at Virginia Tech. Still, she's not exactly cloistered in her mountain-top, ivory tower. She gets around.

  10. Freeman Hrabowski's UMBC legacy grows as he celebrates 20 years as president

  11. Revisit required reading

    Paul W. Hankins remembers vaguely reading &ldquo;The Grapes of Wrath&rdquo; in high school, the same way he remembers vaguely reading &ldquo;The Great Gatsby.&rdquo; &ldquo;That fake reading,&rdquo; he recalls with a laugh. &ldquo;Where you sat in class long enough to get the gist of the story enough to get through the assigned essay marginally well.&rdquo;

  12. Trice: Chicago had its own black renaissance

    In 1997, Darlene Clark Hine came across an essay in which Harlem Renaissance writer Arna Bontemps argued that black Chicago had its own, little-known renaissance that began in the 1930s and rivaled the famous one that occurred in 1920s New York.
