  4. 'The Son' rises with the saga of a Texas family

  6. 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."

  7. Review: "Every Boy Should Have a Man" by Preston Allen

    Genre mash-ups are de rigueur these days. Of course, writers like Margaret Atwood have been tight-roping the misty border between literary fiction and speculative fiction, fantasy and mystery for years. But a new outcropping of younger upstarts, such as Michael Chabon, Charles Yu and Jonathan Letham, have been contorting the lines in new and unexpected directions. Genre fiction, it would seem, is no longer relegated to the back of the bookstore or the dominion of the geek. Examining the borderlands between what is traditionally deemed "literary" and what is "genre," inverting, twisting, defying and fusing traditional genre tropes with meta-modernist craft, is all part of this new genre renaissance.

  8. Biblioracle: Fan fiction comes to Kindle

    Charlaine Harris, creator of the Sookie Stackhouse series of novels, has decided to end the run with the recently released 13th installment, "Dead Ever After." According to The Wall Street Journal, some fans are not happy, "taunting Ms. Harris in emails and online forums, saying she'll regret her decision." One fan is threatening suicide if the ending isn't up to snuff.

  10. TV Picks: 'Futurama,' 'The Hustle,' child activists, 'Wilfred'

    <strong>"Futurama" (Comedy Central, Wednesdays). </strong>Science fiction and comedy are "like that." (Writer crosses fingers to indicate closeness.) Each takes emerging facts to their extreme, often absurd conclusions; both are fundamentally philosophical &mdash; though each has time for exhilarating idiocy &mdash; and in imagining what might be, each takes the measure of what is. "1984" was about "1948," and "Brave New World" is a funny book. Created by Matt Groening, who invented "The Simpsons" and changed the world, and developed with David X. Cohen, "Futurama" fuses the two forms as if in the warp core of some spaceship I am imagining as I type. It has to some extent labored under the shadow of its more eligible look-alike older cousin and echoes it here and there &mdash; 20th-century pizza delivery boy Fry (Billy West) is, like Homer Simpson, a distractible lunkhead, while Bender (John DiMaggio) is the mechanical man Bart might have grown up to be had he been born a robot &mdash; but is very much its own creature, with its own interests. Its return this week, marking the second half of its seventh and final season, opens with back-to-back episodes: "2-D Blacktop" mixes a "Fast and Furious" takeoff with a brilliant riff on "Flatland" (this is the only series on television you're likely to encounter a line like "You kids and your topology"); "Fry and Leela's Big Fling" combines a "Planet of the Apes" riff with something I saw once on "Twilight Zone" (if memory serves) as Fry and sexy cyclops Leela (Katey Sagal) try to get alone.
