...Bergman, who made Saraband two years ago and turns 87 on Thursday, is secure enough not to care what people think of him, or to fret that they may not think of him at all. Neither do I. I've been a Bergman admirer since the 1950s, as I will itemize ad infinitum in my next column. So I welcome his return. No matter how severe the emotional landscape, his palpable presence behind the camera, and the force he still bring to a wrestling match with his demons, are causes for celebration. The Master has returned, in triumph...
...kids. Incredibly, it has never before been reprinted. Edited and designed by the meticulous cartoonist Chris Ware, who is also behind the George Herriman series, this is the first volume of a projected 20-years-long series that will reprint the strip in its entirety up through the early 1950s when King started turning over duties to assistants.

In the 1950s, there were rows of sick beds instead of a living room; no true kitchen, I’m told, but rather a cramped cafeteria managed dutifully by my relatives...
...story. Carter’s recently published first novel, “The Orange Blossom Special,” continues the streak. It is the story of widow Tessie Lockhart and her 13-year-old daughter Dinah as they move from Carbondale, Illinois, to Gainesville, Florida, in the 1950s. The novel traces their interaction with the Florida town’s residents, particularly the prominent Landy family—with whom the Lockharts quickly become intertwined—and the historical events of the next 20 years...
