  1. SXSW 2013: Selena Gomez says 'Spring Breakers' was 'liberating'

    AUSTIN, Texas -- Among the most anticipated moments of the South by Southwest film festival was the U.S. premiere of “Spring Breakers.” Directed by provocateur Harmony Korine, the movie is a sun-soaked, head-spinning look at four college girls who fund their spring-break trip with a crime spree. The film has a good-girls-go-bad angle with young actresses Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson, along with the director’s wife, Rachel Korine, playing the girls -- as well as a wild performance by James Franco as a rapper/gangster named Alien.

  3. 'The Accursed' by Joyce Carol Oates: An engrossing throwback

    In her long and famously prolific career as a novelist, Joyce Carol Oates has worked in many different modes, from the social realism of her National Book Award-winning "them" (1969) and the neo-Gothic storytelling of "Bellefleur" (1980) to the dreamlike historical fiction of "Black Water" (1992) and "Blonde" (2000), both finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. In "The Accursed," Oates combines elements of all of these styles in a bravura performance that has yielded her best, most entertaining and engrossing novel in years.

  4. Column: So, what is a 'work ethic'?

    In South Dakota, we are proud of our work ethic. But I don’t think I know what some people mean when they say “work ethic.”  I take the work ethic to mean I take pleasure in performing a task. It means that I look for ways to...

  5. JP Taravella produces a side-hurting, jaw-dropping, and eye-popping production of 'Leading Ladies'

    A raucous comedy is born as two ambitious British actors don wigs and brassieres, armed to accept the roles of a lifetime: females. In painful high heels and itchy petticoats, JP Taravella heads to the 1950s to highlight a wonderful world of hilarity...

  6. Farmers Markets: Odd-looking cherimoya is a sublime find

    — The cherimoya is a peculiar-looking, almost intimidating fruit — "like a pre-Columbian jade pine cone or the finial for a giant Inca four-poster bed," in Elizabeth Schneider's memorable words. But at its best it tastes sublime, with sweet, juicy, flan-like flesh and rich flavor blending papaya, banana and pineapple. Mark Twain famously called it "the most delicious fruit known to men," and if taste were all that counted, cherimoyas might outsell apples.

  7. Mailbag: Fire rings on the beach are happiness

    I seldom agree with the California Coastal Commission, but I applaud it for trying to save the few remaining fire rings along the coast. There is nothing quite so joyous and spirit-warming as hot dogs and marshmallows cooking on a stick over an open...
