...hunger strike is a classic protest ultimatum—the gastronomical equivalent of Patrick Henry??s famous cry, “Give me liberty or give me death!” At least, so I’d thought until the technique found its milder cousin in the 10 members of the Stand For Security coalition—it was 11 until one withdrew—who are currently refusing all sustenance (except two daily cups of Gatorade) until Harvard complies with their demands. Or until they get really, really hungry and have to stop. The coalition?...
...group of chatting Harvard professors does not a maelstrom make. While he may be the source of the term “stream of consciousness” as applied to mental processes, James had little patience for formal innovations in art and literature, even scorning much of his brother Henry??s work as overly experimental. Despite these flaws, Richardson’s book will occupy a comfortable place at the center of contemporary James biographies for years to come. Richardson is especially good at tracing particular James theories from their first gestations to their eventual appearance in published...

Their rusting VW bus barrels across the kaleidoscopic mesascapes of the Southwestern U.S., a sensitive narrative unfolding like the detailed notes they must open at each Kentucky Fried Chicken they visit...
Turner, however, slowly opens up to his restored family as the journey proceeds, and starts to mention parts of his life that have been kept in the dark for decades. He first acknowledges his criminal past with a wry comparison to Henry??s archaeological digs, telling young Zach that “some things want to be taken.” Just as Henry only brings his fractured family together by stealing them, Roberts has shown that he’s not just “digging up shit,” but reassembling a borrowed genre with...
