  6. Kevin Coval on his new poetry collection, "Schtick"

  7. Review: "Brothers Emanuel" by Ezekiel J. Emanuel

    Three brothers &mdash; Ezekiel, Rahm and Ari Emanuel &mdash; each went on to great career accomplishment: Zeke as a bioethicist; Ari as a powerful Hollywood talent agent; and Rahm, of course, as White House chief of staff for President Obama before being elected mayor of Chicago. &quot;What did their mom put in the cereal?" That is the question Ezekiel, or "Zeke," asks in his new book, "Brothers Emanuel: A Memoir of an American Family."

  9. The escape artist

    Tommy O'Connor was a bad man, a coldblooded killer who prowled Chicago as Prohibition descended. He was convicted of murdering one person &mdash; a police officer &mdash; and likely shot dead at least two more, including his best friend.

  11. New book brings Vivian Maier out of the shadows

    I would not presume to know, at any point during her 83 years on this planet, what Vivian Maier was thinking. But since she died in 2009, I suppose it's OK to make a leap and say that she would be made very uneasy and perhaps downright uncomfortable with all the attention that has been heaped upon her postmortem, since the discovery six months after her death of more than 100,000 photos, give or take, that she took during her prolific if altogether unheralded career as an amateur photographer. Some of them were posted on the Internet, and the hoopla began.
