I find this article from the New York Times to be fascinating. Apparently, J.D. Salinger (now, age 90) has sued a Swedish author named Fredrik Colting (age 33) for copyright infringement. From what I can tell, Colting wrote a character that is presumed to be Holden Caufield at age 76. This character is referred to as Mr. C-- never Holden Caufield. Yet, it's apparent by the character's being and the...

This blog isn’t the only work of…well, something that had an anniversary lately. Back in 2006, I started writing a column for professional and aspiring-professional actors about the non-acting aspects of the business. Over time, it’s morphed into more of a marketing column, but I still try to slip in little bits of helpful info I [...]

As anyone who takes spirituality seriously knows, it’s only natural for a person to experience ebbs and flows in his relationship with whatever higher power he believes in. But what if your career was founded on that relationship? What if you were famous for it? And what if…it ended? Badly, even? That’s the premise at the [...]

The people who somehow come to speak for their generation don't seem to relish it much, but at any given moment there's no shortage of people who would really, really like the job. There's been a surfeit of memoirs written over the course of the years since the Baby Boom generation started writing, and even the fiction produced by people more or less my age often seems excessively self-referential....

I was looking at a list of banned books , and found myself amazed anew at the idea that anyone would feel so powerful and so right that they would take it upon themselves to attempt to control the flow of information into another person's life, another person's mind. And yet books are banned every year--books many of us consider great, important, wonderful works of literature. Consider the list below,...

English poet Philip Larkin, informed that heaven would restore him to a state of childish innocence, abjured the supposed gift, preferring "money, keys, wallets, letters, books, long-playing records, dinner, the opposite sex and other solaces of adulthood." I know what he meant. In the Thirties, Larkin's era, as for my generation that followed, life still had a defined beginning, a middle...

The ongoing war of words between Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien will come to a head this Friday night. Here's how the Yahoo TV blog gave readers the news: While critics continue to question what President Obama has done to earn a Nobel Peace Prize, Hillary Clinton's peacemaking efforts are quickly bearing fruit. Thanks in part to the secretary of state's involvement, NBC...

In one of the greatest twists of irony in the history of the world, terrorist fist jabber/ Polanskiite Barack Obama was named the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize on the same day he launched a preemptive attack on the Moon. It was also the same day that John Lennon would've turned 69 years old, had J.D. Salinger not written his liberal manifesto, The Catcher in the Rye . Which brings us to Ronald Reagan...

Taiwan isn’t really a place where you can afford to allow things like natures bad side stop you. Case in point, since I got to Fuhlong - a beach on the east coast of the island I’ve had to deal with some pretty big spiders, some pretty enormous cockroaches, and a very small leech. I won’t tell you I’m brave about this stuff - cockroaches especially are a bit freaky (especially...

Friendly bet, lazily monitored, you got it.Two years? We can make it easier than that [maybe; if they close my library it could take me a couple of years]. Of the top 100 books of all time, only 42 have been banned or challenged [I was a tad confused in my earlier post], which means we can cross Rand and Wolfe [and a host of others] off the list without even batting an eye.The Revised Listbold =
