...mind has been both my best friend and my worst enemy," says Elyn Saks, the author of The Center Cannot Hold (Hyperion). It's hard to argue with that. While Saks has soared to the top of academia - a graduate degree from Oxford, a law degree from Yale, and a tenured professorship at the University of Southern California - she has also been shackled and involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. Saks, 52, has schizophrenia, a chronic brain disorder that affects one in a hundred Americans. People with schizophrenia (which affect men and women equally) sometimes suffer from hallucinations, delusions...
Then, says Kennedy, came "my 15 minutes of fame." The Big Picture - featuring a New York City lawyer on the run from a crime of passion - brought him a $1.1 million deal from New York's Hyperion Books and billing as the next John Grisham. He got $1 million for his next thriller, The Job, about an ambitious young salesman enmeshed in a web of deceit. Like its predecessor, the book sold decently but failed to earn back the advance.

Unlike star-crossed lovers and Danish princes seeking revenge, the recently resurrected Hyperion Shakespeare Company is getting a second chance after its initial demise. The first production of their newfound life will be “Romeo and Juliet,” which will run May 5 and 6 at 4 p.m. in the Adams House Courtyard.

The Crimson recently sat down with Christopher N. Hanley...
...politicians and journalists (including TIME writers) still went on his show to plug their candidacies and books because Imus knew how to sell. "If Don Imus likes a book," says Katie Wainwright, executive director of publicity at publisher Hyperion, "not only does he have the author on, he will talk about it before, during and after, often for weeks afterwards." The price: implicitly telling America that the mostly white male Beltway elite is cool with looking the other way at racism. They compartmentalized the lengthy interviews he did with them from the "bad" parts of the show, though the boundary...
...Shakespearean play, but the number that has sat through live productions may be considerably smaller. Unfortunately, opportunities to watch one of the Bard’s works have never been abundant on campus, and they decreased even more when Harvard’s only all-Shakespeare troupe, the Hyperion Theatre Company, experienced an organizational and financial crisis several years ago. However, several undergraduate thespians, led by President Sean R. Fredricks ’07 and Vice President Tara L. Moross ’09, hope to engineer a Shakespearean renaissance on campus and revive the ailing company, starting with...
