...scope, its wandering point of view, its constant play of literary ambiguity and genre suspense, Harbor feels more contemporary than almost anything else out there. Sure, in an earlier era there might have been some hand wringing over a white American woman--a blond, no less--writing about the inner thoughts of Arab men. (Adams, a Pulitzer-prizewinning journalist, has covered federal counterterrorist investigations of Arab Americans.) Now we should just be grateful for Harbor. It may be an educated guess, but it's a convincing and utterly compelling...

...Blakemore?s direction gives the piece a racing pulse, as if to underline that this is a comedy of duplicity. As Frayn?s classic farce ?Noises Off? showed the performance of a play on stage, then from backstage, ?Democracy? reveals the public face of Brandt?s Ostpolitik and the inner scheming of Guillaume and the other top staffers, who are loyal but scarcely more likable. The you-break-my-neck-I?ll-break-yours pace stirs suspicions that the play is more bustling than profound. I prefer Alan Bennett?s two one-acters, ?An Englishman Abroad? (about Brit superspy...
...forming - Kelly calls it "glock rock." To get in the mood, the band spent two weeks in a makeshift studio near Kiama, on the N.S.W. South Coast. "We took a Method approach," explains FitzGerald. The acting analogy is apt, since the music provides much of Heidi's inner voice. You can hear it in Heidi's Theme, where a delicate xylophone arpeggio rises above the earthier glockenspiel, perhaps symbolizing Worthington's character Joe. But it's not all so harmonious. For Rough Sex, Decoder Ring provide a jarring guitar riff to accompany one of Heidi's teenage tumbles. It lasts...
...listening closely to the poems and plays, and by assembling scraps of historical evidence into (mostly) plausible surmises, scholar Stephen Greenblatt has produced Will in the World (Norton; 406 pages), a dazzling and subtle biography, due Sept. 20, that teases out possibilities in the bard's inner and outer life, like the much argued conjecture that in youth, Shakespeare was secretly Catholic in an England where the old faith was being suppressed. You may not always be persuaded by Greenblatt's intuitive leaps, but you'll have great fun watching him jump. --By Richard Lacayo...
