  1. "Matterhorn" wins Pritzker's William E. Colby Award

    The emotions of war can be hard to describe.
    Tribune reporter
    The emotions of war can be hard to describe. And for those that never see a battlefield, combat can only be experienced through personal stories, movies, TV shows and, of course, books. The Pritzker Military Library, located in Chicago, annually...

  2. One for the books: The literary life of Stephen J. Cannell

    Stephen J. Cannell -- the surname rhymes with "flannel" -- was best known for the scores of TV series that he either dreamed up or produced or wrote. Often, he did all three. He was a creative juggernaut in Hollywood, and if you're anywhere north of, say, 35, his shows were your shows: "The A-Team," "The Rockford Files," "21 Jump Street," "Wiseguy," "Hunter" -- I could go on and on. Cannell certainly did.

  3. Notes on 'Nightshade': Werewolves and women's power

    Young women may be flocking to the “Twilight” books and films, but the publishing world's gain is feminism's loss. The series offers bland, inert role models for young women. The gals of "Twilight" mainly sit around and sigh, waiting for the male characters to do daring deeds.

  4. Nobel natterings: let the barfight begin

    Let the bar fights begin: Mario Vargas Llosa? You gotta be kidding me.
    Tribune cultural critic
    Let the bar fights begin: Mario Vargas Llosa? You gotta be kidding me. Of all the categories in which Nobel Prizes are awarded, none gets the blood going quite like the literary one. It’s a little tricky  to have an opinion about the physics or...

  5. Printers Row Lit Fest: highlights from Julia Keller

    Sideways: That's the best approach to Lit Fest.
    Tribune cultural critic
    Sideways: That's the best approach to Lit Fest. When you're perusing row upon row of books offered by the many fine booksellers who spread their wares, new and used, before a page-hungry public, you turn your head to the side. Reading titles on spines...

  7. Thoughts on J.D. Salinger

    To read "Salinger" and "91" in the same sentence is a shock, an abomination. And yet there it is, the blunt and brutal fact of it, showing up in news reports of the author's death like a rock holding down a butterfly wing: J.D. Salinger, who died earlier today, was 91.

  8. The battle over war stories: Is authenticity enough?

    When Stephen Crane wrote "The Red Badge of Courage" (1895), his Civil War scenes were so sharply persuasive that the author's contemporaries assumed he was a combat veteran.He wasn't. The success of Crane's slim novel is a notable exception to the general rule of artistic renderings of war: If you haven't been there, you're not entitled to describe it.

  12. Heartland whodunits: exploring a bumper crop of Midwestern mysteries

    Everything comes from somewhere. For a while, though, it seemed as if all the great American mysteries were coming from somewhere else.
