  1. 'Book of My Lives': Aleksander Hemon's remarkable tale

    Aleksandar Hemon landed in the United States two decades ago, January 1992. He was 27, a young Bosnian journalist from Sarajevo arriving on a one-month visa, arranged through a cultural exchange program sponsored by the State Department. Just after he arrived, war broke out in Yugoslavia. Hemon was stranded. In the years since, as he settled into this country and became an acclaimed writer — became one of Chicago's finest contemporary writers and arguably its most important literary talent since Saul Bellow — Hemon has told this immigration story many, many times.

  2. Literature Prize launches as $60,000 Folio Prize

    It's a big day for prize announcements: The Literature Prize announced its formation and sponsor Wednesday at a news conference at the British Library in London. The idea for the prize came into being when a group of British intellectuals took umbrage at the direction they saw the Booker Prize taking -- they saw it leaning toward popular fiction rather than literary fiction.

  8. Crime & Punishment: Man steals $278 worth of gum

    <strong>In two separate incidents,</strong> thieves in Fairfield allegedly got away with hauls that are valuable on paper, though it's unlikely they'd be able to use the entire amount of what they stole, and the resale value of such items is questionable. Marvin Hampton reportedly walked out of a Stop and Shop with $278 in unpaid-for gum, a score that was apparently worth telling a store employee "You better back up or I will shoot you" over. (Police later caught up with the 50-year-old suspect.) The <em>Fairfield Citizen</em> also reports that someone took everything from a display table in the downtown Victoria's Secret store, slipping out with $600 in lace panties and thongs.

  11. The evolving images of 9/11

    The first screening of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" came just weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11. The movie had been in the works for years, the first in a trilogy based on novels that had been written decades earlier, of course, by an Englishman named J.R.R. Tolkien during Hitler's rise to power and World War II. And yet the first minute of the film delivered a queasy jolt of immediacy, a chill of recognition. It opened with no image, and very faint background music, little but a black screen and Cate Blanchett's mournful voice, reciting what sounded like, that autumn day, either a prayer or the most poetic 9/11 editorial no one had written yet:
