  2. Graduates must resist the urge for simplicity

    Members of the Class of 2013, I salute you. As everyone keeps telling you, you are graduating at a difficult and even frightening time. I wish it were otherwise — that my generation was bequeathing you a finer world. We aren't. The world into...

  3. Banned book club a real-time lesson in censorship

    Four Hundred Fifty-One Degrees is not a boy band. The group was founded by a boy, and it is led by a boy, but its ranks are primarily girls. It came together just 18 months ago and, depending on the week, it claims 15 to 20 members. That fluctuation should not be misread as a lack of commitment: The members have matching T-shirts, with “451 Degrees” emblazoned across the fronts. That said, matching T-shirts should not be misread as popularity: Until the other day, 451 Degrees was not especially well-known.

  4. Nicholas Tremulis book 'For the Baby Doll' celebrates life and love

    It may not rank with literature's greatest opening lines — “Call me Ishmael”; “It was a pleasure to burn”; or “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice”* — but the first sentences of Nicholas Tremulis' new 10-page memoir are undeniably arresting: “When I was 4 years old, I wanted to be music. Not play it. Be it.”

  5. Beach football in stride with SoCal lifestyle

    Really great columnists use all five senses. Guys like me use maybe two — taste and thirst.

  6. It came from Ray Bradbury

    Though known primarily as an author, Ray Bradbury had a fixation with Hollywood. It was inevitable that his skills as a science fiction writer would eventually land him work in the movies.

  7. Walter Mosley, L.A.'s easy writer

    You can take Walter Mosley out of Los Angeles — in fact, Mosley did so himself, moving to New York decades ago — but you can't take L.A. out of Walter Mosley. The master of several genres keeps the city present, from his Easy Rawlins detective novels set in black postwar Los Angeles to the Greek-myths-in-South-Central elements in one of the two novellas in his latest volume. Mosley appeared to wrap it up with Rawlins in "Blonde Faith" in 2007, but five years later, he's found more for his most famous detective to do, just as Mosley has for himself. He has a fledgling production company, B.O.B. (for "Best of Brooklyn") Filmhouse, and still writes with one foot in 212 and another here in 213.

  8. A Ray Bradbury sampler

    &ldquo;<span class=&quot;italic" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">Rocket summer</span>. The words passed among the people in the open, airing houses. <span class="italic" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">Rocket summer</span>. The warm desert air changing the frost patterns on the windows, erasing the art work ... The rocket lay on the launching field, blowing out pink clouds of fire and oven heat. The rocket stood on the cold winter morning, making summer with every breath of its mighty exhausts. The rocket made climates, and summer lay for a brief moment upon the land ...&rdquo;

  9. Celebrating 12 in 2012

    In an anecdote that sticks to the memory like an overdone cookie on an undergreased cookie sheet — those 2011 holiday baking mishaps still rankle — an American visiting the Sorbonne is accosted by a French student. "You Americans!" the...

  10. The ABCs of summer reading

    Henry James once opined that the two most beautiful words in the English language are &quot;summer afternoon." I would like to edit James &#8212; alas, who wouldn't? &#8212; and bestow the most felicitous phrase award upon the words "summer reading."

    In every life, a little fall must reign.
    In every life, a little fall must reign. One slip, one missed opportunity, one hesitation or wrong turn can haunt you forever, casting an intractable shadow over the rest of your days. The words "if only" are never far from anyone's thoughts. But what...

  12. It's refreshing to see so many rotten bills put down

    There are so many astoundingly bad things happening in Tallahassee these days that it's easy to get overwhelmed and depressed.
    There are so many astoundingly bad things happening in Tallahassee these days that it's easy to get overwhelmed and depressed. But I'm not going to let that happen. Think of today's column as a verbal dose of Prozac — a pick-me-up in the form of...
