  4. Word power

    Earlier this year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a 100-book required reading list for his compatriots, it provoked anxiety, rekindling memories of Soviet-era censorship. The furor underscored an important point: that literature plays a fundamental role in defining a country's culture and its discourse.

  5. Printers Row Lit Fest roundup

    "The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid," wrote Jane Austen in <strong>Northanger Abbey</strong>. And those who have denied themselves the pleasure of a Jane Austen novel have done so at great cost. William Deresiewicz, author of <strong>A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship</strong><strong> and the Things That Really Matter</strong>, is doing his part to rescue Austen from women's lit classes with a fresh, eloquent memoir about how Austen's work transformed his life. <strong>Definitely Not Mr. Darcy</strong>, by Karen Doornebos, turns <strong>Pride and Prejudice</strong> on its head with a charming tale of a frustrated divorcee who ends up in an Austen-inspired a reality TV dating show set in 1812. Austen would have given Soo-Ja, the heroine in Sam Park's <strong>This Burns My Heart</strong>, a stern reproach for rejecting her true love, a young medical student, and settling for a hapless mate out of her sense of duty. This search for love animates Marisel Vera's <strong>If I Bring You Roses</strong>, a story about new immigrant's doubts and dreams set a half-century ago in Puerto Rico and Humboldt Park. If only she had Jane Austen to guide her.

  12. At Lifeline Theatre, a proud production of Jane Austen

    OK, "Call me Ishmael" is punchier. But the first sentence of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" ("It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife") is right up there in the Famous First Lines Sweepstakes. The challenge is making it sound fresh while acknowledging its classic status.
