The ancient Greeks were the pioneers in establishing the fundamentals of many areas of human inquiry. They were the first to write history in an analytical sense.

Size matters. Seeing Jonathan Queen’s mural, “Fresh Harvest,” on Kroger’s corporate headquarters downtown in reproduction is nothing like standing in front of it.

Superheroes get on my nerves. Enough already. In our fan-boy, Big-Baby-Man culture, where Batman and Spiderman are given as much significance and gravitas as King Lear and Hamlet, action figures have become prized status symbols, cialis online pharmacy and Comic-Con has become the main place to measure pop-culture significance, it’s easy to see why. But […]

Two New English Novelists
September 15th, 2012 | by Daniel Brown | published in September 2012
I remember when Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, and Julian Barnes were still the angry young men of English literature. All three are now in their sixties, and their early promise has more than panned out. But England is still giving us young writers of great merit; two of them, Jo Baker and Harriet Lane, have […]
