  2. The incredible shrinking Barnes & Noble

    Big box bookstores such as Barnes & Noble were once considered a major threat to the health of the book-selling industry, offering discounts, massive selections and lattes that independent bookstores could not. Now things have changed: Barnes & Noble is the last national bookstore chain standing, and it's getting smaller ... and smaller ... and smaller.

  3. Inspired by the Ravens: Literary NFL teams?

    The Super Bowl-bound Baltimore Ravens get their name from the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, making them the most literary NFL team. They can thank the people of Baltimore, who chose the name during a poll conducted by the Baltimore Sun.

  4. Sundance darlings eye alternative distribution platforms

    Not that long ago, premiering a star-driven Sundance Film Festival movie on a video-on-demand channel was an admission of failure. But last year's festival produced two huge on-demand hits, Richard Gere's crime drama "Arbitrage" and Kirsten Dunst's...

  6. Visions of Mann's 'Venice' in Russo's 'Nate in Venice'

    The title isn't the only similarity between <strong>Richard Russo's</strong> new e-short, <strong>&quot;Nate in Venice,"</strong> and Thomas Mann's novella, "Death in Venice." In both pieces, the main character obsesses over an unattainable adolescent. Gustav, protagonist of Mann's novel, becomes enamored with a young boy on a Venice beach. In Russo's e-short, Nate, a semi-retired English professor, becomes infatuated with "the Mauntz girl," a student in his seminar who has Asperger syndrome and distances herself from others in the group. What happens between Nate and the Mauntz girl, readers will have to wait until the end of the novella to discover. (It's worth the wait.)

  7. Depictions of violence in theater: Revelation, not nihilism

    In one of the most infamous scenes in modern drama, a group of young men in a London park stone a baby to death in its carriage. What begins as roughhousing escalates to all-out sadism until a rock is thrown at point blank range, ending the child's pitiful cries for good.

  12. The operatic governor

    TRENTON, N.J. -- Coyness is not part of Chris Christie's repertoire, which does not stress subtlety, delicacy and intimation. New Jersey's governor is more Mickey Spillane than Jane Austen and his persona, which sometimes is that of a bulldog who got up on the wrong side of the bed, is so popular he seems to be cruising toward re-election this November and does not deny that he might look beyond that.
