  3. A fresh look at Wilder and Chandler

    Before Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled L.A. detective Philip Marlowe and his vivid literary prose caught the public's attention, before Billy Wilder's towering position as one of Hollywood's greatest writer-directors, there was a James M. Cain novel titled, "Double Indemnity."

  5. DVD review: 'End of the Road' weirder, more abstract than the book

    John Barth surely ranks among the least screen-adaptable modern (or, perhaps, postmodern) American novelists. His stories are about themselves; the words, their own subject. It's not surprising that only one of his books has made it to the big screen. In fact, what's surprising is that any of them did. On the other hand, Michael Winterbottom managed to turn the least-adaptable novel of all time, Laurence Sterne's &ldquo;Tristram Shandy,&rdquo; into the terrific 2005 &ldquo;Cock and Bull Story,&rdquo; so I suppose nothing's impossible.

  9. Lake schools should teach about Sheriff Willis McCall and book 'Devil in the Grove'

  10. Review: "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman

    Like modern fantasy authors from Lewis Carroll, George MacDonald and C. S. Lewis to Gene Wolfe and John Crowley, Neil Gaiman writes about the worlds on the edges of this one&nbsp;-- just off the map, a bit to the left, inaccessible without the right mirror or rabbit hole or wardrobe. In "The Sandman" (1989-1996), the comic book that made his name, Gaiman revived a forgotten Jack Kirby series from the '70s and wove a kind of Blakean mythology around a cast of archetypes known as the Endless: Dream, Death, Destiny, and the like -- figures who preside over realms that exist alongside our own. Gaiman's first novel, "Neverwhere" (1996), follows a young girl named Door through London Below, among the Rat-Speakers, across the Night's Bridge, to the Floating Market and the Black Friars. "Stardust" (1999) is set in Wall, on the border of Faerie. Similar premises underlie "American Gods" (2001), "Coraline" (2002) and the new "The Ocean at the End of the Lane."
