...minds in a cultural environment. So my weary parents opted for the middle-ground: a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Be it Montana, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Colorado, South Carolina or Virginia, we'd shack up in the woods and spend our days horseback riding, cow tipping, mini-golfing, go-cart riding or apple-picking. I, of course, was beside myself. Though I could barely form complete sentences, I do remember launching into diatribes: "Where are the five star hotels? The paparazzi? My close-up?" My brother sucked it up and tried to pretend that he was Thoreau, forced...

...choice--to abandon St. Thomas for France and high European culture--in different ways. At one point the poet gives his blessing: "There was no treachery if he turned his back/on the sun that plunges fissures in the fronds/of the feathery immortelles, on a dirt track/with a horse cart for an equestrian bronze." But later Walcott wonders whether Pissarro's Impressionist renderings of French scenery did not involve treachery after all: "Are all the paintings then falsifications/of his real origins, was his island betrayed?/Instead of linden walks and railway stations,/ our palms and windmills? Think what he would have...

...wrong to suppose that the curiosity about the irrational that pervaded European culture in the '20s was an offshoot of surrealism; this puts the cart before the horse. The French film director Jean Epstein put the matter succinctly when he wrote of how "a host of techniques, from psychoanalysis to micro-physics, has begun to describe a world where...reason no longer always seems right." Cinema "encourages us to think in a dreamlike way...[it] slowly but surely filters the most basic of doubts throughout society: that of questioning the value of absolutes." Dali collaborated with Bunuel...

...theater festival named in his honor. The Shaw Festival will stage eight plays from March 31 through Nov. 11 in its three theaters in Niagara-on-the-Lake, on the Ontario peninsula, just 20 miles from the falls.

...giant, hairy man is pushing Leonardo DiCaprio on a cart through a supermarket, and no one is looking. I'm expecting European paparazzi, women with Sharpies offering their decolletage, or at least furtive glances from other shoppers. Nothing. Not even when DiCaprio, wearing a cap and glasses, gets off the cart and awkwardly lifts it over a cereal-aisle blockade. "You see, dawg. I just lifted that cart, dude," he says loudly, bragging about the effects of his new weight-lifting regimen. But nothing happens at the West Hollywood Ralphs branch besides deliberation in the brownie-mix aisle over Ghirardelli...
