  1. Word power

    Earlier this year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a 100-book required reading list for his compatriots, it provoked anxiety, rekindling memories of Soviet-era censorship. The furor underscored an important point: that literature plays a fundamental role in defining a country's culture and its discourse.

  2. Tracking Wallace Stegner's footprints in Vermont's earth

  4. The limits of fussbudgetry

    The Baltimore Sun
    The day of my first piano lesson, I picked out "Yankee Doodle," right hand only. It would be insane to start a  beginner with one of Bach's partitas or one of Lizst's Hungarian rhapsodies. One starts simply and progresses by stages as far as one's...

  6. "So Long, See You Tomorrow" by William Maxwell

    A boy moves away from his small-town central Illinois home after his father murders a tenant farmer. Years later, an occasional childhood playmate ignores the boy in a high school corridor. Out of that awkward, wordless moment emerged "So Long, See You Tomorrow," William Maxwell's graceful swan of a novel.

  8. Reynolds Price dies at 77; author and longtime Duke professor

    In 1984, when he was 51, novelist Reynolds Price learned that a pencil-shaped tumor, about 10 inches long and malignant, had invaded his spine. Several surgeries and dozens of radiation treatments followed, leaving him a paraplegic racked with pain and the uncertainty of his survival. His happy life of teaching Milton at Duke University and writing several hours a day was over, or so it seemed in his many dark moments.

  10. 'Blue Collar, White Collar, No Collar' by Richard Ford

    "Work, as you will see, is imagined broadly in these stories - as labor, as chores, as business, as duty, as habit, as memory, as art, and as priestly avocation," writes Richard Ford in his introduction to this wonderful anthology of stories about work,...

  11. Chicagoland book club: third Thursday club

    <strong>One thing to know about our book club: On </strong>the third Thursday of each month for the last 34 years, our book club has to discuss books that add another dimension to our very hectic existence. Over the years, we have watched our members marry, divorce, bear children, become grandparents, get and lose jobs, bury loved ones and two years ago we said goodbye to a beloved member to breast cancer. We have five women and two men as members and are not allowed to have a spouse or significant other in the group. One of our favorite things is Secret Santa, when we pick a name of one of the members in January and give them something we have picked up on foreign soil during the year the following December.
