  2. 'Hallelujah Junction: Composing an American Life' by John Adams

    JOHN ADAMS is the voice of America. His instrumental music, and particularly that for the orchestra, conveys the American experience broadly. He is generous in his interests, which include the maverick Yankee-isms of Charles Ives, the populist strains of Bernstein and Copland and the classical jazz of Ellington and Benny Goodman, as well as the more progressive styles of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Pop music -- be it the Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, electronica or grunge -- is on his radar. He has experimented with experimental music and championed Minimalism. Sibelius looms large.

  5. A timeless reality in fairy tales re-imagined

    &quot;Realism leaves out so much," wrote science-fiction author Joanna Russ in 1995, introducing "The Penguin Book of Modern Fantasy by Women." Russ was making the common feminist argument that fantasy and fairy tale express the inexpressible, especially for women, whose realities, Russ wrote, "wouldn't do."
