  3. An evening with author Joan Didion at Hartford Stage

    It's widely known that writer Joan Didion's late husband, John Gregory Dunne, was raised in the Hartford area; she chronicled her grief at his passing in <em>The Year of Magical Thinking</em>, which won the National Book Award. More recently, Didion penned <em>Blue Nights</em>, about her complex relationship with her daughter, Quintana Roo, who passed away more recently. Don't miss this chance to hear a literary giant in person. The event will be followed by a dessert reception and book signing.

  5. Rodriguez: L.A.'s way is the freeway

    Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky's office released a mildly amusing list of 53 suggestions for surviving "Carmageddon," one for every hour the 405 will be closed this weekend between the 10 and the 101. In the hope that you'll stay off the streets &#8212; please! for God's sake! &#8212; the list suggests planting a tree, shopping online (from county-based stores, of course), throwing a block party. What it doesn't do is encourage Angelenos to appreciate our freeway system and to imagine for a moment what the city would be like without what historian Kevin Starr has called "absolute masterpieces of engineering."

  6. Southern California Close-up: Westside of Los Angeles

    You're an outsider heading to the Westside of Los Angeles &mdash; not the beach cities, but Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Westwood and the nearby well-heeled neighborhoods south of the Santa Monica Mountains. This means you'll be well-fed, well-rested and perhaps more closely watched by the issuers of your credit cards. And while the dollars fly, you may learn a little about wealth, fame, geography and Persian desserts.

  11. Beautifully packaged reads

    Abuse, betrayal, addiction and grief form the base for memoirs these days &mdash; even beautiful ones like Joan Didion's <strong>The Year of Magical Thinking.</strong> But <strong>Swim: Why We Love the Water</strong>, by pioneering TV news correspondent Lynn Sherr, breaks from the memoir of despair, favoring passion instead.
