  1. Orlando Fringe review: 'Ses-qui-cen-ten-ni-al'

    When it comes to American history, the Civil War remains a topic that's charged with emotion.
    When it comes to American history, the Civil War remains a topic that's charged with emotion. So it's disappointing that there's not more passion at the heart of "Ses•qui•cen•ten•ni•al – The Civil War Remembered," a one-...

  6. The Gold Standard: Bet a penny on Day-Lewis as Lincoln?

    &quot;I am 10 years older than I was a year ago." We believe that's a line Abraham Lincoln said to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at the end of "Lincoln." Or it could be something "Lincoln" lead Daniel Day-Lewis wearily muttered during one of the endless Q&amp;As he's done during a long campaign of an altogether different sort than the one fought for the Union.

  8. Karen Russell explains 'The Barn at the End of Our Term'

    Singling out a Karen Russell story for being strange is a bit like acknowledging a raindrop for being wet. Beginning with her debut 2006 collection, &ldquo;St. Lucy&rsquo;s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves,&rdquo; Russell has presented an expanding universe of fiction that is so cracked, so twisted and so brilliantly described that when readers encounter her new book, &ldquo;Vampires in the Lemon Grove,&rdquo; they will have no choice but to give in to the urge to ask one of the most-cliched questions known to writer and reader alike: &ldquo;How the hell did she come up with that?&rdquo;
