  4. Bobcat Goldthwait Performing at Funny Bone Comedy Club in Manchester Nov. 9-11

    Hilariously dark comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (pictured) performs at the Funny Bone Comedy Club in Manchester Nov. 9. Goldthwait, who burst on the scene in the '80s as a solo comedian with his over-the-top antics and political satire, made his movie debut in <em>Police Academy </em>as the memorable criminal Zed. He starred in several other popular comedies, including <em>One Crazy Summer </em>and <em>Burglar</em>, and he's currently on a creative fast track, directing three highly acclaimed independent films in the last six years. His latest film, <em>God Bless America</em>, premiered in May. Along with his movie adventures, Goldthwait still manages to put together his colorful trademark satire into a routine he performs across the country. Although he's not quite the same frantic character burning up television sets, taking a shower onstage or screaming at the top of his lungs (at age 50, what do you expect?), his intelligent humor elicits the same buzz and hysterical laughter from his audiences.

  5. Frankenstein, Dracula cast their shadows

    When Mary Shelley wrote &quot;Frankenstein" in 1816, she could not have conceived of the cultural landmark it would become. The novel still throws a long shadow across the popular imagination almost two centuries later. Boris Karloff's performance as the monster in Universal's 1931 film has become iconic, and his was merely one among dozens of adaptations and revisions that came later: movies, plays, novels, comic books, even breakfast cereals (remember Franken Berry?).

  6. Review: Tom Wolfe's 'Back to Blood'

    The masters of the universe in Tom Wolfe's &quot;Back to Blood" don't resemble their counterparts in the writer's other novels. Their voices are louder, their wardrobes are looser, their brows are sweatier and their accents are funnier than the almighty, egocentric people found in "The Bonfire of the Vanities," "A Man in Full" and "The Right Stuff." They leak money like tostones leak grease, they prefer their native tongue over English, their politics are combustible, and when one of their own acts in a way that could be perceived as treasonous, they dole out punishment swiftly and viciously.

  8. Versed in Hiding

    For more than two decades after that awful February day in 1989, when Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini asked Muslims everywhere to kill Salman Rushdie for allegedly offending Islam with his novel &ldquo;The Satanic Verses,&rdquo; the author was never sure that he would write a memoir about his life in hiding. In the early years, shuttling from one undisclosed location to another, Rushdie wasn't confident that he would survive long enough to write such a book. Khomeini's fatwa, after all, was no idle threat. The Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz, who had won the Nobel Prize for Literature the year before the &ldquo;Satanic Verses&rdquo; controversy, faced similar calls for his own assassination, and for similar reasons; in response, an Islamic fundamentalist stabbed the 82-year-old writer in the neck outside his home in Cairo in 1994. He survived, but barely, sustaining nerve damage so severe that he could write only a few minutes a day for the rest of his life.
