  1. Author Ford's 'Canada' reads like Midwest

    Viewed casually, the event featuring author Richard Ford on Sunday night might have seemed a series of dislocations.

  2. Gaming grows up: A video game revolution

    The video game is 40.
    The video game is 40. Its exact birthday is arguable. Cultural historians likely would date its origins further back, roughly a decade or two; prototypes of arcade games flourished in university computer labs in the 1950s. But “Pong,” the...

  4. For film fest, is 'good enough' good enough?

    My own feelings about the Chicago festival, the 48th edition of which concluded Thursday, are necessarily shaped by individual taste as well as equally subjective notions of relevance. Does the event matter? Is it as vital as it could be, should be? Tough queries, tougher to answer.
    Is the Chicago International Film Festival good, good enough or not quite that? This is the question. This is the question to be asked of any festival, every perennial cultural mainstay in every city. It's the way to keep us all honest, whatever dog we...

  5. Chicago Humanities Festival: Let freedom swing

    How fitting that a festival exploring a theme as vast as "America" should be playing stages across Chicago next month.
    How fitting that a festival exploring a theme as vast as "America" should be playing stages across Chicago next month. For no art form reflects the fundamentals of the American experiment more urgently than jazz, and no city has contributed more to the...

  6. Larry Wilmore takes shots, not sides

    Larry Wilmore occupies an unusual place for a comedian, an original place. He often seems to be neither here nor there, his vantage neither staunchly one way nor another, neither completely serious nor entirely kidding. Before he went in front of the camera in 2006 and became known as a correspondent on "The Daily Show," he stayed mostly behind the scenes, as a writer on "In Living Color," "The Jamie Foxx Show" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," as a producer on "The Office" and as creator of "The Bernie Mac Show," among other positions.

  7. Best literary bets Humanities Festival

    The literary events at the Chicago Humanities Festival are illustrative of the festival's sprawling theme, “America.” A diverse array of voices, perspectives and characters will illuminate the American experience. And for those whose passion for reading is undimmed in this digital age, the festival offers celebration and community. The festival, which kicked off Oct. 14 and will host a handful of events today, will be in full swing Nov. 1 to 11.

  8. McNair and Cole set the stage for Chicago Humanities Festival

    The Chicago Humanities Festival will explore the theme of "America" this year, so it was wholly appropriate that its Gala Benefit Evening featured two musicians well equipped to take on distinctly American music. The 23d annual festival hasn't officially...

  9. Fred Hersch: Despite struggles, a great pianist flourishes

    The formidable jazz pianist Fred Hersch was diagnosed with H.I.V. in 1986, developed AIDS and openly discussed it in the early 1990s and suffered a two-month coma in 2008 as a result of pneumonia (though that was not due to his disease).

  12. Tribune literary awards go to Sondheim, Franzen, Wilkerson

    "Writing" seems an inadequate word to describe what Stephen Sondheim has done, yet it is the breadth, impact and influence of his writing that have won him the 2011 Chicago Tribune Literary Prize for lifetime achievement.
