  4. David Foster Wallace scrapes the stars ... and the barrel

    David Foster Wallace's posthumous career &mdash; Wallace committed suicide in 2008 at the age of 46 &mdash; has produced nearly as many books as his live one did. In 2010, David Lipsky came out with &quot;Although of Course You End up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace." "The Pale King," Wallace's unfinished novel, appeared in 2011.

  6. Why you should read genre books

    I'm usually reading four or five books at a time. At the moment, I'm in the middle of Husain Haddawy's enchanting translation of &ldquo;The Arabian Nights&rdquo; (forget Cervantes and Sterne &mdash; this is where postmodernism begins); Jean-Luc Marion's anti-ontotheological &ldquo;God without Being&rdquo;; Guy Davenport's essays; a few books of poems I switch among; and Daniel O'Malley's &ldquo;The Rook.&rdquo;

  7. Liberal Arts

    Josh Radnor, best known for the sitcom <em>How I Met Your Mother</em>, struck out on his first film &ndash; <em>HappyThankYouMorePlease</em>. In this movie, he hits it out of the park. Perhaps some of the themes you&rsquo;ve seen before &ndash; age difference in relationships, college freshman exciting to discover classical music and authors, and older folks disgruntled with the world. Those older folks range from a guy in his 30s that&rsquo;s tired of his dead end job, a guy in his 60s retiring from a job, and a woman in her 50s that&rsquo;s an influential teacher &ndash; who couldn&rsquo;t care less about the praise that&rsquo;s heaped upon her.

  9. Trivia quiz: Salman Rushdie's not-so-hidden life

    Salman Rushdie&rsquo;s new memoir of his time in hiding, &quot;Joseph Anton," weighs in at more than 600 pages. The British-Indian author was the target of a <em>fatwa</em> death sentence issued by Iranian clerics. A lot of people helped him survive a decade of clandestine life, from British policemen to U.S. literary activists. Seemingly all of them are listed in his new book.
