  1. A reflection on literary retirements

    Stop writing if you please, but for pity's sake, don't expect the world to look up from its lunch long enough to realize you've gone away.
    In light of Philip Roth's recent announcement of his "retirement" from writing, a scene from the 1977 movie "Julia" comes to mind. It's a delicious cinematic moment, involving as it does the deft puncturing of pomposity — always satisfying to...

  4. J. Ernest Green's 'Voices of Light' resonate brilliantly

    J. Ernest Green's masterful conducting of the Annapolis Chorale, Chamber Orchestra and soloists in two performances of Richard Einhorn's "Voices of Light," an oratorio set to Carl Dreyer's 1928 silent film "The Passion of Joan of Arc," brought a unique experience to near-capacity audiences last weekend at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts.

  6. Lyric Opera's 'Werther' staging sometimes off the rails, but singing is gloriously on track

    Jules Massenet's "Werther" is a staple of the European opera house repertory, but its Goethe-inspired protagonist remains an infrequent visitor to American shores. Despite the fact that the opera received its American premiere in Chicago, in 1894, Lyric Opera has ventured it only twice, the last time 34 years ago, when Alfredo Kraus reprised the super-stylish portrayal he introduced at the company premiere in 1971.

  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.

  12. Fourth time's not the charm for French anti-war novel 'War of the Buttons' ★★

    The fourth screen adaptation of Louis Pergaud's 1912 novel (and one of two dueling versions to hit French theaters within a week of each other), this "War of the Buttons" melds the book's anti-militarist story of feuding rural schoolboys to a boilerplate take on the French Resistance.
