Patricia McCormick is not the kind of writer who sits at her keyboard waiting for inspiration. She's the kind of writer who finagles her way into a Kathmandu jail to interview a young Nepali man awaiting trial. He told McCormick without a hint of embarrassment that he had sold his fiancé. Why? "Because I wanted a motorcycle," he replied. He then laughed with his jailers, knowing he would probably...
...evident; nonetheless, the duet was excellent. The highlight of the evening, however, was Harold Shapero’s “Four-Hand Sonata for Piano,” played by Bartosik and Wei-Jen Yuan ’06. The two, side by side at the keyboard, sometimes played in unison, but occasionally diverged into different halves of a melodic line.

There are best sellers, and there are best sellers, but even among the rarefied club of writers who routinely hit the lists, Grisham is unusual.

If you have a free Skype account, you can just enter your username and password, and it will bring up your contacts list...
...reestablishing and sustaining familiar tonal palette over the course of an entire album while eluding the joint specter of drudgery and repetition.Yet rather than a sprawling masterwork, “So This is Goodbye” is a cohesive album, whose melodic bass lines issue taut rejoinders to lazy keyboard echoes, delicate synth arpeggios, and efficient percussion—complete with judicious handclaps, especially on “First Time” (alas, sans cowbell).Despite the album’s electro-sheen and programmatic counterpoint, singer Jeremy Greenspan’s high, reverb-enhanced vocals imbue the tracks with...
