Master of allusions
![It is probably inadvisable to consume Howard Waldrop's <b>"Other Worlds, Better Lives: Selected Long Fiction 1989-2003" </b>(Old Earth: 280 pp., $15 paper) in one gulp. Waldrop has a pleasing style and wears his learning lightly; he pokes fun at those books "full of two-dollar words," in which "the sentences were a mile long, and the verb was way down at the bottom of the page." But the works gathered here make hay with so many ultraspecific cultural moments that the unwary reader might contemplate suing for whiplash.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-10/42716498-03124212.gif "It is probably inadvisable to consume Howard Waldrop's <b>"Other Worlds, Better Lives: Selected Long Fiction 1989-2003\" </b>(Old Earth: 280 pp., $15 paper) in one gulp.

'Art School Confidential'
![If a more elegant and succinct explanation of what compels some people to go to art school has ever been filmed, I haven't seen it. Terry Zwigoff's "Art School Confidential" begins with a steady, mostly silent (except for a rhythmic pounding of fist on nose) shot of a skinny kid getting his face bashed in by the school bully. Cut to the same kid standing in front of the class wearing a beret and a striped shirt, saying, "I am a genius. I am the greatest artist of the 20th century. I am Pablo Picasso," and the picture is complete. A portrait of the artist as a young man getting his face kicked in.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-05/23271633.jpg "If a more elegant and succinct explanation of what compels some people to go to art school has ever been filmed, I haven't seen it.
