  2. Happy scandalous anniversary to Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl'

    On this date, March 25, in 1957, Allen Ginsberg helped make literary history. That's because 520 copies of his poem "Howl" were seized by U.S. Customs agents on charges of obscenity. Ginsberg and his publisher, City Lights, would fight those charges -- and win.

  6. Literary luminaries drop in on Tribune writer as tear gas wafts through streets

    When the doorbell rang one August evening in 1968, my inclination was not to answer. The Democratic National Convention was raging, and I had a window seat. My then-wife and I lived across from Lincoln Park, the peaceniks' campground. Previously, a bunch of cops had burst into our front hall and slugged a freelance photographer who was bunking in with a neighbor before he could out get the door.

  8. Pop songs on the Middle East, put in their place by Silk Road

    In 2009, Silk Road Theatre Project took their mission of exploring stories from people of the Silk Road (the trade route that ran from the Far East to the Mediterranean) and gave it a cunning musical spin. "Silk Road Cabaret: Broadway Sings the Silk Road" combined songs penned by Westerners with autobiographical anecdotes from the diverse cast on the difficulties of carving out show-biz careers in the face of sparse — and insulting — roles for performers of Asian and Middle Eastern descent.

  9. 'Camino Real' through the eyes of Spanish director Calixto Bieito

    Late Sunday night, there was a radiant light in the face of the Chicago actress Carolyn Hoerdemann. "This all reminds me of the early days of the European Rep," she said, ebulliently, referencing one of Chicago's most influential avant-garde troupes of the 1990s, and sweeping her hand around a barroom that included several bottles of wine and such game-for-anything Chicago actors as Mark Montgomery, Barbara Robertson and Ron Rains, out together for the evening with Catalan opera and theater director Calixto Bieito.

  11. Fashion Diary: Peter Copping on his Nina Ricci collection

    Although several designers have tried to forge a modern identity for Nina Ricci over the last decade, the French fashion house is still better known for the iconic fragrance L'Air Du Temps (launched in 1948 in the Lalique bottle with glass doves) than for clothes.
