  1. Mysterious Poe visitor doesn't show for 2nd year

  2. Monument to a neighborhood's renewal

    Walking along Mount Royal Avenue from <a href="http://findlocal.baltimoresun.com/mount-vernon/home/university/maryland-institute-college-of-art-baltimore-school-educational-facility">Maryland Institute College of Art</a> to the University of Baltimore, what struck me most was the corridor's abject seediness: The buildings had a thick coating of decades-old industrial grime, there were strip bars across the street from the University of Baltimore, mega-sized roaches and a restroom mockup peeked out from the broad windows of the Odorite Building, prostitutes brazenly plied their trade at the corners of Preston and Charles streets. In August 1982, I was a kid from the suburbs starting law school in the city, and this was my first view of student life in Baltimore. The then-new John and Frances Angelos Law School sat squat and brown at the corner of Mount Royal and Maryland avenues, fronted by a sea of mud where the plaza and Edgar Allan Poe statue now sit. It was depressing.

  3. Founding Father frenemies Hamilton and Burr 'Duel With the Devil'

    History may be written by the victors, but Alexander Hamilton became a victor by writing history. He died at the hands of lifelong rival Aaron Burr in a famous duel, yet posterity has been kinder to Hamilton because of the power of his pen. During his...

  4. 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.

  5. L.A. Opera to import a 'Magic Flute' influenced by silent films

    Having developed a momentary case of the 20-year itch for the beloved production of Mozart&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Magic Flute&rdquo; that it has been rolling out since 1993, Los Angeles Opera announced Tuesday that it&rsquo;s about to have a fling with a sexy new flame it met earlier this year in Berlin.

  7. Review: 'Van Gogh' and 'Tell-Tale Heart' have a crazy idea

    Opera was born to be mad.
    Opera was born to be mad. The first great opera concerned the demented Roman emperor Nero. In the nearly three centuries since Monteverdi's "The Coronation of Poppea," mad scene has succeeded mad scene on the lyric stage. They still do, as Long Beach...

  8. Orlando Fringe review: 'Poe & Mathews: A Misadventure in the Middle of Nowhere'

    Brian Kuwabara and Emily Windler have cooked up an absurd little comedy in "Poe and Mathews: A Misadventure in the Middle of Nowhere."
    Brian Kuwabara and Emily Windler have cooked up an absurd little comedy in "Poe and Mathews: A Misadventure in the Middle of Nowhere." It's slapstick a la Laurel-and-Hardy, both visual and with wordplay. A bit with confusion over trunks owes a debt to...

  9. Water bill whirlpool

    There is an old adage, often heard in the local marinas, that a boat is nothing more than a hole in the water into which you pour money. Turns out the same could be said about Baltimore's water and sewer system &mdash; it is a money-soaking hole that puts the Queen Mary to shame.

  10. Five books by Chicago authors appearing at Lit Fest

    In Thomas Dyja's cultural history of Chicago, "The Third Coast," he writes that in Nelson Algren's day, "being Chicago's Famous Writer was like winning the heavyweight title &mdash; there was only one at a time, and you kept the belt for as long as you could beat all comers." That's not true anymore. But while you may know the names of many of the city's heaviest hitters &mdash; Gillian Flynn, Chris Ware, Stuart Dybek &mdash; Printers Row Lit Fest offers a chance to become familiar with many more. This week's roundup features five Chicago-area authors &mdash; some more established than others &mdash; who each published debut novels within the past year.

  11. Stewart Copeland finds synchronicity in writing operas

    Though it's been 27 years since the Police disbanded, Stewart Copeland, its American drummer, remains best known for his nine years with the seminal British rock band. But that doesn't mean he hasn't been busy beyond the Police's 2007 reunion tour. From the mid-1980s through the mid-2000s, Copeland was a prolific composer of movie and TV scores. More recently, he's been writing operas and ballets.
