  1. 'Book of My Lives': Aleksander Hemon's remarkable tale

    Aleksandar Hemon landed in the United States two decades ago, January 1992. He was 27, a young Bosnian journalist from Sarajevo arriving on a one-month visa, arranged through a cultural exchange program sponsored by the State Department. Just after he arrived, war broke out in Yugoslavia. Hemon was stranded. In the years since, as he settled into this country and became an acclaimed writer — became one of Chicago's finest contemporary writers and arguably its most important literary talent since Saul Bellow — Hemon has told this immigration story many, many times.

  3. Lunch conversation, community inspiration

    Last week, I enjoyed joining a lunch discussion with a few dozen community leaders who were interested in education, volunteerism, and the community. The goal of the lunch was to brainstorm ways together to inspire students, parents and policy-makers to make our education system work better.

  5. Starting at the beginning

    On a recent January night, about 100 people gathered in the Tribune Tower to discuss the art of the short story and to kick off the 2013 Nelson Algren Short Story Award contest. Five Algren Award winners &mdash; David Michael Kaplan, Joe Meno, Billy Lombardo, Baird Harper and Jeremy T. Wilson &mdash; read and dissected the opening paragraphs of their award-winning pieces. The writers educated audience members about place, intent, character, setting and the tenuous balance between humor and drama. While all the authors have different writing procedures &mdash; starting with outlines or not, continuously editing a piece or setting it away for a bit &mdash; they stressed the importance of just putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). As last year's winner, Wilson, said: &quot;The most important part of writing is just allowing yourself to wander around in the story."

  6. Battle between Cubs, rooftop owners is best viewed from sidelines

    From the Super Bowl to the sandlot, just as surely as players give 110 percent, the math of sports is always suspect.

  7. Forgotten Chicago keeps city's bygone parts alive

    A building is not, of course, a living thing, and so, unless it's the one you work in, live in or visit with some regularity, you probably take most of the city's thousands of other buildings for granted.

  8. Head injuries and the NFL

    Medical researchers recently confirmed what many had already suspected. Junior Seau, the former NFL linebacker who killed himself last spring, suffered from degenerative brain disease -- most likely the result of multiple hits to the head accumulated during his football career.

  12. Lawrence Wright on 'Going Clear'

    Covering the church beat takes on an entirely new dimension when that church is the Church of Scientology. Since its founding in 1954 by former pulp fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, the church has aggressively used the courts and public relations campaigns to undermine and intimidate journalists who seek to dig deeper into its controversial doctrines and practices. Lawrence Wright's 432-page book &ldquo;Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief&rdquo; expands on his lengthy 2011 report in The New Yorker that follows the defection of ex-Scientologist Paul Haggis, the Oscar-winning screenwriter and director, while confronting the firm resolve of true believers who are crucial for the church's survival in the midst of growing claims of human trafficking and imprisonment of some members and physical abuse conducted by David Miscavige, its top leader.&nbsp;
