  4. From page to small screen

    Some of the biggest blockbuster movies in the last 10 years are based on books. (That means you, Harry Potter and “The Hunger Games”). But the annual television lineup has always included its share of book adaptations as well, dating back to at least the 1960s with “Peyton Place.”

  5. D.T. Max takes on the life of David Foster Wallace

  8. Critic's Notebook: Essays tiptoe up to grab us unawares

    Essays sneak up on us. They are &mdash; or often feel &mdash; accidental: the record of a writer wrestling with an idea, an observation, a slice of experience, of a writer figuring it out. They have a conditional quality, as if they could go in any direction, offering impressions more than conclusive points of view. As Tom Bissell notes at the beginning of &quot;Magic Hours: Essays on Creators and Creation": "When I am asked ... for advice on how to get started as a nonfiction writer, I tell them to start small and look around."
